It will be nice for a change, at least waiyaki way will be rid of those transit trucks. Lakini I was wondering, when did Uganda sign an agreement with Kenya for using Kenyas port and Kenyan road as a transit route? what criteria did he use in choosing Kenya and not Tanzania as the route for his goods? What economic advantage are we raking from this venture?
Bro,
the main reason UG chose Kenya was because of the infrastructure
established during the colonial era.Kisha Kenya and UG had the same
colonial master and this relation had already been set by the Brits.
Kisha pia if you compare the distance from Mombasa to Kampala verses
Dar es salaam to Kampala utaona kua the Kenyan one is shorter than
the TZ one.Also Kenya had a better internal road network while TZ had
lagged behind.So a simple cost benefit analysis will point you to Kenya
than Tanzania.
Hii tenda that
Mwana wa Mungu is talking about can only bear fruit
if Kikwete starts focussing on a massive roadwork program that cuts
through the middle of the country.Kisha the port of Dar should be
worked on big time.After we do this, then tunaweza kua serious bidders
for the UG market. Tunapoteza hela nyingi na hawa mafisadi and they
are running loose in our country while nothing is being done.
Finally if the reason for going after this tender is selfish( eti M7 anapigana
na wakenya) then it will not work.I can't trust M7 a lick and who knows
anaweza akatugeukia na jeuri zake kama ilivyo sasa na wakenya.That is
Museveni for you.
Shukran.
