Uhuru Kenyatta denies rift between Kenya and Tanzania

[nyangau mkenya]

In Summary

• Mr Kenyatta said the two countries’ economies are tied to each other for benefit of their people.
• The absence of the Tanzanian leader John Magufuli during Ticad led to speculation on his commitment to regional integration.

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday dismissed reports from the media that there was a conflict between Kenya and Tanzania.

Speaking during the commissioning of the second container terminal at the Mombasa port, President Kenyatta downplayed the existence of any conflict, saying the two countries complement each other.

“I read a lot of newspapers and watch television news indicating there is conflict between us, but I want to clearly state here that Kenya and Tanzania are not in a conflict with each other,” he said.

Mr Kenyatta said the two countries’ economies are tied to each other for benefit of their people.

He cited the new northern frontier corridor that would link the Mombasa port through the Kilimanjaro region to Bujumbura in Burundi, a route designed to shorten the distance by about 300 kilometres.

“East Africa is not in competition with itself. East Africa is in competition with the rest of the world. We want to complement one another. We want to take advantage of each other’s strengths in order to grow, to develop and boost our economies,” he said.

He asked the media to stop spreading ‘lies’, saying the region’s interests are to expand its horizons to other neighbouring countries such as Somalia and Ethiopia.

The absence of the Tanzanian leader John Magufuli during the Tokyo International Conference on African Development led to speculation on his commitment to regional integration.

However, Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed said the President Magufuli had sent a representative, Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa.

“He is not the only one who didn’t attend. In fact, he was well represented so there is nothing to worry about. Tanzania and Kenya have excellent relations, so let us not dwell on the negatives,” she said in a phone interview.

The Tanzanian leader has only travelled to Uganda and Rwanda since assuming office last October unlike his predecessor Jakaya Kikwete who was known to make many foreign visits.

He has also skipped at least five international meetings, including the World Trade Organisation conference in Nairobi last December, the AU Summit in Addis Ababa in January, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in Nairobi last month as well as the AU meeting in Kigali.

There is no rift between Kenya and Tanzania - Uhuru

Kwa nini Wakenya ni wagumu na hawaelewi kwamba sisi tuna viongozi wakuu watatu, tuna Raisi wa JMTZ, Makamu wa Raisi wa JMTZ na Waziri Mkuu na wote hao wana uwezo wa kuiwakilisha nchi yetu, hivyo kukiwa na Mkutano Makamu wa Raisi akienda ina maana nchi yetu imeenda au Waziri Mkuu wetu akienda ina maana nchi yetu imeenda sasa tatizo liko wapi hapo?

Mbona Makamu wetu wa Raisi mara nyingi ameiwakilisha nchi yetu SADC, Jumuiya ya Madola (Commonwealth), AU na mikutano mingine mingi kwa nini hao hawakusema kwamba Tanzania ina rift nao kwa kuwa tu Raisi wetu hakwenda?

Ukisoma vizuri, hawajasema kwamba kuna rift. Wamesema the exact opposite - kwamba hakuna rift.

Kiswahili cha mitaani huwa tofauti sana, hilo neno "mindy" linavyotumika Dar sivyo linatumiwa Nairobi, mimi ambaye nimekatiza mitaa ya Dar na Nairobi nina uwezo wa kujua hiyo tofauti.

Sio kweli kwamba tunajifichaficha. Majukumu makubwa ya kidiplomasia amekabidhiwa Waziri wa mambo ya nje, Augustine Mahiga ambaye ni Mwanadiplomasia nguli aliyewahi kufanya kazi na Umoja wa Mataifa. Kwa hiyo, sio kama tumejitenga ila majukumu yamesambazwa.
