Davos 2012: Day two, as it happened | Business | guardian.co.uk.

Tanzania's Kikwete is one of the most pathetic African leaders of our times. He is a peacetime leader for a country known to be one of the richest in the world in terms of natural resources, yet he leades the world with begging. Foreign companies have known Tanzania to be a free land in which you can go in and take all you can without being asked a question. I really don't get the mind set of its leaders especially their prsident Mr. Kikwete, a Muzungu worshiper. Having worked with the UNDP in that country for 8 years, I realized how inneficient and corrupt the country's leadership is. His ministers that requested bribes from BAE have never been tried despite the damning evidence against them. British TAX payers must stop funding this man's corruptin and foreign trips. His human rights record is horrible. Mr. Kikwete had no business of going to Davos to ask for foreign aid. Already his country is the world third leading foreign Aid dependant nation. He should be embarassed to say to the world that people are poor. His people living "hand to mouth " is his own is own ignorance and stupidity.That is hiw own problem, Brits are having their own problems he must realize that. We cant bankroll his foreign trips. He should make good use of his country's wealth. Instead of letting his corrupt officials and foreigners loot his country, he needs to think before letting himself be a global loughing stock. I read in one of the regional (kenyan) publication the mockery nature related to his frequent foreign trips. Palestinian, Haiti, Lebanon, Somalia and even Rwanda economies are more robust that of Tanzania. We must question the nations that welcomes this "Joker's" request for AID. He needs to be on a "no-fly" list so he can be serious. Hopefully the billionaires questions what he has done with the Money he has received for decades. The Arab spring should turn into the African summer and get rid of the Kikwete likes

Response to RichardBrunwick, 26 January 2012 2:33PM This man did not deserve to be a head of state. He has no credibility. How can a head of state be bribed suits? We must write Downing Street and our parliament, and let them know that Aid to some of these african countries ought to STOP. nyerere the founding president of tanzania was a visionary even though his socialist policies failed, but he was a nationalist and a true patriot.
Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana have seen far and are on the roll to economic dependence. Kikwete, and his chrony of rulling elites getting richer and richer. These people have no electricity yet the country has so many dams and rivers. There should be a policy to bar all corrupt leaders and their children from stepping into the EU.
I dont blame Kikwete, i blame Tanzaians for letting this happen. They should be 100% responsible for their poverty and suffering. We just dont need them to come for Aid. We have many Brits out of work, and that money should pay for their Unemployment Benefit

African problem is more than foreign aid. They are not ready for economic transformation. In Tanznaia today, they have started the leadership inheritance in which the old guards passess on the torch to their children. we should not expect anything serious from African nations. If it means our money, lets cut it off. We have so many social problems to deal with people's own created misery
because they will never have free elections without someone stffing ballot boxes and ready to let the whole country in flames as long as they remain in power and their children in top american and british schools

@Richard, The issue with Tanzania president is not a British issue or a global issue. It is a Tanzania voters issue. They have let this man continue with corruption and impunity. Those in diplomatic circles especially in the US state department are privy of the matter and very disgust with Kikwete. He is not a serious leader and the chatter in Washington about his endless lavish foreign trips is not flattering. He is an embarrasment to his country and african leaders
He has literally sold his country and done nothing to combat corruption. Nepotism has risen; those in power ensures they slot in their children in sensitive positions before they retire. Currently, 15% of Tanzania government leadership is made of sons and daughters of those that once ruled or still in power.
I see Tanzania in the line of Tunisia and Egypt very soon, and wont lose sleep if this man is ousted, we just dont want him in America. UK, you can have him. Our cabinet secretaries take subway, their ministers in expensive land cruisers. Not with our tax dollars. I learnt through secret channels that one of his associates transported a Range rover in a cargo plane to Tanzania
Then go around and say Hand to Mouth???????? Comment from a whole president to his fellow world leaders? can he ask himself why???
Davos main goal is to discuss Euro crisis not African problems and this president should have known that, because at the end of the day he will be leaving bare handed

To RichardCameron must focus on problems at home instead of trying to solve world problems. He should let Jacom Zuma solve African problems. SA economy is the largest in Africa, and can support some of those that needs economic boost.
If Tanzanians dont want to solve their problems, then nothing we can do as Brtis. ANC austed Thabo Mbeki to save the party . Tanzania rulling party must get rid of Jakaya Kikwete to remain the party it once was because the man is an embarassment to say the least. I was in the audience and was shocked he could not answer the simple question posed to him
Tanzania people are some of the most hospitable in the EA region and do not deserve the kind of leadership they have. I think getting rid of their rulling party and current goverment may save their boat from sinking else they will be history. This happened in Kenya, Zambia during Kenneth Kaunda and will keep on spreading.
atatulia lini jamani?!
Bado naamini safari za Jk zina faida tatizo ni taarifa kwa wananchi kueleza faida zake. Jk hawezi kuwa mjinga kiasi hicho kama angekuwa anapata hasara.
Tumekuwa tunaangalia zaidi matumizi ya safari hizo kuliko mapato yanayopatikana. Kuna gap kati ya taarifa ya matumizi na mapato kwenda kwa wananchi. Hii ni kazi ya watendaji kutupa taarifa hizi. Taarifa hizi si mali ya Ikulu ni mali yetu. Hili ni fumbo kama litawekwa wazi wengi tutashangaa.
Hivi huyu jamaa vipi??
Mchizi anaboa sana huyu!
Atakuwa ameenda kubadilisha damu,siku za karibuni anaonekana anahitaji tiba mbadala
kweli eh!?Ni muhimu sana rais wa nchi kutengeneza mahusiano ya karibu na nchi zingine hasa zile zilizoendelea kwa ajili ya kufungua milango ya kiuchumi na kibiashara.
Mfano David akimwambia Jk kuwa dawa ya kupiga mwereka ni hii ya ku cameroniwa jamaa atakataa kweli? I wish Jk atakuwa jasiri
hapa naona anatoa maelekezo ambayo alisahahu kumpelekea mkuu wa mkoa kwa maandishi
JK AELEKEA UINGEREZA LEO KWA ZIARA YA KIKAZI
Rais Dkt.Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete akiongea na Mkuu wa mkoa wa Dar es Salaam Bwana Said Meck Sadick muda mfupi kabla ya kuondoka nchini leo asubuhi kuelekea Uingereza kwa ziara ya kikazi.(picha na Freddy Maro).
Yaani hata mwezi wa pili haujaisha yeye tayari kashatoka safari zaidi ya tatu yaani kila mwezi lazima asafiri wakati hapo Jirani Kibaki hajasafiri tangu mwaka uanze
atatulia lini jamani?!
