Tanzania envoy temporarily deactivates Twitter account after criticism from Kenyans

[NairobiWalker]

MH! And yet Tanzania has surplus food for its people and Kenya, a rich country, has millions going hungry🥱

By the way, neither poverty nor wealth are evidence of corruption.

Nobody is going hungry in Kenya. Poverty is evidence of corruption.

Look, I really don't want to prolong this, but just for reference: Millions of Kenyans go hungry every day. Why, and what can be done

No one should ever face hunger. Poleni sana majirani.

On the corruption issue, I'm not sure what premise you're drawing your conclusion from, but poverty is not proof of corruption.

Corruption and poverty are synonymous, pari passu.What i mean is if corruption was a tree one of its fruit would be poverty.

Two countries, one with free media and the other with a dictatorial regime that restricts media. Travel to the two countries and you'll see the real situation on ground. Show me a non-corrupt country that is poor. Stop being an idiot.

You can be polite and still make your point across; just saying.

On the subject of corruption.
I do not disagree that poverty could be one of the indicators or consequences of corruption. What I disagree with you is the premise that corruption equals poverty and vice versa. That would imply that rich countries are not corrupt or do not have corrupt people. Quite the contrary, a lot of countries that are also very rich have been associated with corruption, very grand corruption in fact. The difference is the type of corruption and where the loot goes.

I am not being an idiot by challenging your oversimplification in equating poverty to corruption.

You should have told that to your idiot Tanzanian friend who sparked the discussion by claiming there is no corruption in Tanzania. Ndio maana mimi huwaita idiots. Mnapayuka tu, hamnanga point ya maana.

Evidence of Corruption in Tanzania please

Please, get a list of the top 10 least corrupt countries in the world and top 10 most corrupt countries in the world and do your comparison. Perhaps hapo utaelewa.

There is what we call degree of corruption - the more corrupt a country is, the poorer it is. Corruption is directly proportional to poverty. Take that to the bank.
