Why KQ should be banned from flying to Tanzania

[malema 1989]

80% of your tourists pass through Nairobi. Majority or whom combine a safari tour of both Kenya and Tanzania.
Mkianza vita vya angani, safari yao itakuwa inaishia Kenya. 🙂🙂🙂

brainless, unadhani watalii wanafunga safari bila kujua wanakoelekea? stupid

Tourists have no say. Most airlines have Nairobi as their regional hub, so the connection will have to be made from JKIA.
Often, this is the cheapest route. Tourists go for the cheapest.

They combine Kenya and Tanzania because its cheaper and offers them more.
When this option becomes expensive, they will have to stick to one country.

It goes without saying that the one with cheaper fares and better connectivity with world airports will have an upper hand.

We have flights from Amsterdam, Istanbul, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg and many more which they land in Tanzania directly. Kenya isn't that special.

Kenya doesn't offer premium tourism usijidanganye. You get middle to low class tourist.

Tanzania firm halts Kenya flour exports over tax changes

Tanzania-based Bakhresa Group, which owns one of the largest flour mill in the country, has suspended exports to Kenya citing frequent changes in tax rules.

The firm, a well-known family-owned business founded by tycoon Said Salim Awadh Bakhresa, says frequent changes in tax rules have slowed its exports to Kenya and led to losses running into millions of shillings.

“The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has in recent months surprised us with sudden changes that end up increasing our tax liability six fold,” its export manager Yasini Billo said, claiming the changes usually aren’t communicated to importers until products get to the border.

“We see the hidden hand of competition in all this since our products do not encounter similar restriction in the other East Africa Community (EAC) markets that we export to.”

The Group, with a turnover of more than Sh80 billion, produces flour, carbonated soft drinks, dairy products, water, packaging material and petroleum products. It also owns a ferry transport service and runs a pay TV.

Apart from Tanzania, the firm has operations in Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi and South Africa. The decision to suspend flour exports to Kenya comes just weeks after the KRA detained its truckload of flour at Namanga border.

The flour, under Azam brand, is made of wheat imported under East Africa’s 10 per cent duty remission scheme.

While the same scheme is available to Kenya’s flour processors, KRA has lately imposed 25 per cent duty on such products, ostensibly on reciprocal response to similar treatment of palm and industrial sugar-based products from Nairobi by the Tanzania Revenue Authority.

Mr Billo said the tax dispute has wrecked the firm’s bottomline as duty demanded per truck of goods has increased six times.

“We have decided to suspend further export of wheat flour to Kenya until the dispute is fully resolved”, Mr Billo said, adding the group’s subsidiary in Nairobi is however continuing with its normal operations.

Sources have however intimated to the Business Daily that the row between the KRA and Bakhresa extends beyond the bilateral tax disputes.

KRA is said to have revaluated the firm’s products on suspicion that it has been exploiting the transfer pricing loophole to cut its tax liability.

Tanzania firm halts Kenya flour exports over tax changes

MY TAKE
80% of confectioneries r made of sugar and the decision by GoK to allow it's producers to import industrial sugar duty free is a conspiracy towards other sugar manufacturers in the region. Plse JPM do sth to counter this exploitative tendencies by Kenya. No need to allow this anymore!

Mtafinywa makeish hadi mshike adabu.

Wamezoea biashara ya dhulma!

Wakati mlikuwa mnatufanyia madhambi mwaka uliopita si nyinyi ndio mlikuwa mkisema eti tutaumia, ona sasa nani analia kama mtoto mdogo.

Niliyasema haya juzi juzi tu mlipokuwa mkifurahia serikali yenu ilipoongeza ushuru kwa maziwa ya Brookside hadi asilimia 1000. Nikawaeleza kwamba hivi karibuni Bhakresa ataanza kulialia, baada ya kujionea kwa macho yangu mwenyewe mzigo wake kwenye matrela zaidi ya thelathini umekwama pale Namanga kwa zaidi ya mwezi mmoja. Hivi vita visivyokuwa na tija ambavyo vinaenezwa sanasana kutoka ikulu ya Tz mwisho wa siku havitakuwa na mbabe yeyote yule. Hasara itakuwa kwa wanabiashara, watanzania kwa wakenya, ambao wanajaribu tu kujiendeleza kwa njia halali na kwa jasho lao. Wazee wa ndemi na mathathi walisema sikio la kufa halisikii dawa. Mengine mengi yapo njiani yaja.

Kwanini unashidwa kusema vilianzishwa na Ikulu ya Kenya. Wakati inagombania Bologonja wewe ulikuwa wapi?

Mbona tulipopunguza safari za KQ ninyi ndio mliokuja kuomba msamaha?. Mbona tumekataa single tourists visa na bado mumeshindwa kuitumia pamoja na kwamba nchi zingine za EAC mlikubaliana na mkaianzisha?, without Tanzania there is no EAC, that is fact.

Ndugu yangu, hakuna siku hata moja ambapo ikulu ya Kenya chini ya Mwai Kibaki au Uhuru Kenyatta imetoa tamko lolote kuhusu au dhidi ya Tanzania. Hizo bangi mnazovutishwa wakati mnakabidhiwa buku saba saba zimewavuruga sana. Hiyo dhana ya kipuuzi ambayo mmekaririshwa na fisiemu kwamba Kenya lazima ianguke ili mpate maendeleo ya kweli mtakapoistukia itakuwa ni 'too late'. Mpo huru kufanya biashara na kuishi huku Kenya, ila haimaanishi mualiko huo ni wa kinyonge tutaendelea kujibu mapigo tu. Tena ni mkulu wenu dhidi ya PS wa wizara husika, hao ndio saizi ya hilo Jiwe lenu.

Punguza propaganda za CCM. Mighty Kenya has never bowed down to Tanzania.

Ujinga ni kusema ati without Tanzania there is no EAC. Are you implying that without Kenya there would be EAC?
You're only forced by geographical circumstances to be in EAC.
Otherwise in EAC you hold no title. You trail Kenya in everything. We are USA and you are our Mexico.

Mbona unafikiria kiuwepisi hivyo, wewe mpaka uone matamko ya serikali ndio uamini, kuna mengine mengi hayana matamko baba.

Lol.. You think Tanzania is any better.
Hao wazungu you see roaming in Serengeti are taxi drivers and teachers in the UK.

Premium tourists go to Ibiza.

I didn't say you have zero direct. But most stop over in Nairobi.
If they did not make the Nairobi stopover, they would fly almost empty.

Have you seen a taxi driver or a teacher paying $10,000 a night any were in the world. Hizi akili za kubebewa mpunguze kidogo.

When Balala offering ryan air a deal to fly Mombasa who was he catering for if not wazungu road sweepers.
