Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda say no to mitumba

[Geza Ulole]

Tanzania + Uganda + Rwanda exports to Agoa = $43 million
Kenya exports to Agoa (2016) = $394 million

If we were an LDC country exporting such a tiny amount, we would also ban second hand clothes and hence get denied the Agoa market.
Right now this Agoa supports thousands of Kenyan jobs at EPZ Athi River.
We will phase out mitumba in a way that does not kill many jobs. For instance, EPZ companies have for the first time been allowed to sell their clothes locally.
We are also reviving textile companies and creating new ones.

Parting shot - Mitumba are bad for the country, but when you want to poison your enemy, make sure you don't drink the same poison.

You've just described Tanzania for the last 20 years.

But this was not a 'block' decision. Not like the deal with EU where it was mandatory we are all in or all out.
Entry into Agoa was an individual country thing not an EAC thing. That's why the likes of Nigeria and Ghana and Zambia are members.
If you make decisions as a country that will jeopardize your place in Agoa (understandable for an LDC), then that's your own decision.

In this era, we will no longer follow Kenya's move . We are out of EPA, now out of AGOA, next to black list all Kenyans projects because, we have realized that capitalists uses you as a door to destabilize and kill your fellow East Africans states in different spheres of development.

That's why soon we will shut down all foolish projects owned by Kenyans or any body investing from Kenya in Tanzania through EAC' shoulders.

Tutawaua ninyi nyang'auz and soon, KCB Bank and Kenya airways activities will be banned too.

Do you think who needs another one in EAC!?
Frankly speaking, Kenya needs Tanzania in EAC than we do.
Whether you're in or out of EAC nothing will harm or hurt Tanzania. Better you can find another approach.
So, keep dreaming.

Tukienda na ukweli viwanda vyetu vya nguo bado sana kutengeneza nguo bora

Ungeenda nchi kama Bangladesh ungeona viwanda vilivyo vya kawaida tu lakini wanazalisha nguo zinauzwa Ulaya na Marekani. Nchi inapata mpaka dola billioni 19 kwa mwaka.

Mitumba debate shows up our threadbare economies

 

[pingli-nywee]

Kupiga marufuku mitumba hata kabla ya viwanda vya nguo kujengwa ni kama kufua nguo zako zote, kisha ukakaa uchi, eti mchezo sasa ni kungoja nguo zikauke! Kichwa cha mwafrika aisee,kitu ngumu sana kuelewa!

Siyo tatizo lako bali, hujaelewa game ndiyo maana unaandika comment yako hivyo.

Ukielewa utarudi kufuta comment hiyo.

As a country (Tanzania), such a move will have a lot of advantages if only we are able to produce enough to avoid a shortage while, supplying to our neighbouring countries.

....You don't know what you're saying.

Mpango uliopo ni kuondoa hyo mitumba na kuzalisha nguo zitakazouzwa bei sawa na hiyo mitumba ya wazungu!

....Mpango wa maneno matupu? Hivyo viwanda viko wapi vya kutosheleza kuvisha watanzania zaidi ya milioni 48 tena at an affordable price? Huko vijijini sh 2000 mtu anapata suruali, je bei ya dukani suruali sh ngapi?

As long as local companies can match the quality we get from grade one mitumbas ni sawa kabisa...its should be quality n affordable pricing to the common mwanachi..issue ya wanaoadhirika ni ya ajira ya hawa ndugu zetu ambao wanaofanya hii biashara kwa sasa...

....Haya uliyoandika isingewezekana bila ku quote whole long text? Kila siku mnaambiwa hamuelewi why????

If EAC was in Asia, Kenya is South Korea, Tanzania is North Korea.

Oh really. Because you've seen some fancy buildings and beautiful streets in Pyongyang?
I've got news for you. The average Kenyan makes 3 times more than a North Korean.
And the rest of the country looks like a Dar slum.

Siku ukiona mitumba imefungiwa rasmi dhahili hata vyenyewe utaviona!

 

[Iconoclastes]

Mnajipiga vifua na hata viwanda vya nguo ndio hamna.

Ati criusly, Tanzania nchi kubwa hivi iliuza kwenye soko la Agoa nguo worth just $15mln? Ha!

Hiyo inamanisha hamna industry ya manguo za maana, ya kwamba Amerika inaua viwanda vyenyu ni visingizio visivyo na maana.

Tanzania mtaishia tu kununua nguo kutoka Kenya ama uchina mkipiga marufuku mitumba kutoka Amerika, cos hamtaweza kutosheleza mahitaji ya nguo nchini. Bado kabisa hamna uwezo huo.

Haya, yetu mecho.
