Kenyan Asians flock to Arusha

Kenyans of Asian origin have flocked to Arusha-the Tanzanian region bordering neighbouring Kenya, in fear of a possible breakdown of law and order during the general elections, a survey has established.

Kenyans decided yesterday in an election that political analysts suggested would be highly contested between incumbent President Mwai Kibaki-who seeks to retain his post-and his former NARC ally, Raila Odinga.

A random survey conducted by The Guardian in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a hub of the world popular Tanzania�s northern Tourism circuit, revealed that a number of Kenyans of Asian origin and their families had crossed the border and headed towards Tanzanian national parks for security concerns.

Those who were interviewed at the Ngorongoro Crater�s main entrance gate, cited violence that had been witnessed during the campaign and in the previous two multi-party general elections of 1992 and 1997, as reason for their leaving the country until elections were over.

�There are potential signs of violence in this fourth multi-party general election in Kenya, if the recent violence in Mount Elgon and Rift Valley Province during the campaign period is anything to go by,� said a team leader who preferred anonymity.

According to the group leader, his was among several other such groups that have crossed the borderline to various tourists destinations in Northern Tanzania. These include Tarangire, Manyara and Serengeti national parks as well as the world�s eight wonder, the Ngorongoro Crater.

Another Kenyan of Asian origin who also opted for anonymity, said they would stay in Tanzania until the heat of general elections in their country had completely subsided.

�We should not be considered as unpatriotic citizens. We fear if tribal violence occurs, we might be the most targeted group due to our neutral political position,� the Kenyan said.

According to him, a few people of Asian origin have remained in Kenya at the moment as the majority has travelled to other East African countries of Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.

Some have also gone as far as Asia, America and Europe for the end-of-year-vacation.

Previous Kenyan multi-party general elections were characterized by violent campaigns and ethnic clashes that killed tens of people, with police shooting to disperse rowdy crowds.

Some 14 million Kenyans were registered to vote in yesterday�s polls to choose a new president, parliament and local councils in the country�s fourth multi-party election since pluralism was introduced in 1992.

European Union monitors have already warned that the violence will undermine the credibility of elections in Kenya, East Africa�s largest economy and a bastion of stability in a region beset by conflicts.

The Commonwealth and African Union have also deployed their observer teams.

Opinion polls have put sharp orator and opposition leader Raila Odinga slightly ahead of Kibaki in the presidential race, with former foreign minister Kalonzo Musyoka trailing far behind.

Kibaki, 75, champion of advancing basic freedoms, has been under criticism for failing to rein on corruption within government ranks.

Odinga, revered for his alleged role as a champion of the poor, has vowed to re-organize every government sector and accused Kibaki of being a total failure.

Political experts predict a nail biting finish of the closely fought election.

[MzalendoHalisi]

Wahindi na uzalendo????? Wapi umeona- siku zote passport mbili mkononi!

 

[Bongolander]

Hao ni Mercenaries hawana upendo kwa Kenya wala kwa Tanzania, wao wanapenda hela tu. Hii ingekuwa opportunity nzuri sana kwa watanzania kuwakamua hela zao. Kwa hiyo hakuna sababu ya kuwaita wakenya, waitwe wahindi tu. Tanzania ndio hao hao wanaoitwa Vithlan, Manji, Somaia wanapassports mbilimbli au tatu tatu, tunapokuwa kwenye wakati mgumu wanakimbia tunapokuwa kwenye hali nzuri ndio wanakuja kutukamua.

 

[Chingwanji]

Leo wanakimbia hivi hawajashiriki hata kidogo kutoa michango kwa serikali ili baki madarakani huko Kenya wapete kama tunavyo ona akina Manji na wenzake wanafanya hapo Tanzania ?

 

[BAK]

Ndio zao hao na Wahindi wa Bongo nao pia hukimbilia nchi mbali mbali wakati wa uchaguzi wetu na hubeba mamilioni ya fedha za kigeni.

THE Immigration Department has refuted reports that thousands of Kenyans of Asian origin were flocking into Tanzania following fears of possible violence during the general elections. The Arusha Regional Immigration Officer Justine Kagitumila told the 'Daily News' that most of those who had come to Tanzania were tourists.

He said statistics show that the number of Kenyans of Asian origin visiting Tanzania was much less than in previous years. He pointed out that there were thousands who had Tanzanian passports who had come home for the festive season.

Mr Kagitumila explained that since schools had been closed there were thousands of students studying in Kenya who were returning home for holidays. Recent press reports have claimed that some of the Kenyans of Asian origin had crossed into Tanzania, following possible fears of violence as aftermath of the general elections which were held today.


Some of them were quoted as saying that thousands of others had travelled to Uganda and Rwanda following similar fears. Several policemen have been killed in the Kenyan province of Nyanza, bordering Lake Victoria on allegations that they had been sent to rig elections in the area, a stronghold of opposition leader Raila Odinga.

...as if wewe kama vile ndio hupendi pesa na kujifanya mzalendo number moja kumbe chuki zako tuu juu ya wahindi,who cares kama wanapenda nchi au hawapendi as long wanafuata sheria za nchi na kulipa kodi its all good,na kama huna uwezo wa kukimbia vurugu acha wenye uwezo wakimbie au unafikiri kukaa nyuma na kusubiri ndio uzalendo,acha ubaguzi wewe na chuki zisizo na maana!

Wahindi bwana mwisho! laiti wabongo tungekuwa tuna-take opportunities kama wao tungefika mbali. (hapa sifagilii mtu kuikimbia nchi ikiwa mashakani, lakini kumbuka enzi zile Mtikila alivyoleta zake, wewe ungekuwa mhindi si ungejichimbia kwanza?)

South africa siku hizi wao wanakwambia sisi ni watu weusi na tulibaguliwa enzi za apartheid kwa hiyo zile sera mpya za south za kuwa-favour watu weusi na wao wanazi-enjoy vilevile.

Sasa sisi wabongo hapahapa kwetu badala ya kuhakikisha tunaweka sera za kuwa-favour watanzania tunaweka sera za kuwa-favour wawekezaji toka nje.

Kule India kuna kitu kinaitwa NRI (Non resident Indian) yaani mtu akiwa na wazazi au mababu waliotoka India hata kama hajawahi kufika huko, siku akiingia na kwenda ku-apply anapewa hiyo status na ataweza kuingia na kutoka anavyotaka na kupata haki zote kama mhindi asilia na fovours kibao za kumuwezesha ku-invest. Sasa sisi kwa sababu sio "ma-opportunists" kama wahindi na hatupendi kuzikumbatia sera za kutunufaisha, basi mbongo akija na uraia wa nje tunamwambia wewe msaliti na mikwara kibao.

Mheshimiwa hapa naona umeteleza kidogo kama unamaanisha kwamba NRI ni kwa ajili ya kupata ukaazi wa kudumu na kufanya unavotaka.

NRI ni kwa ajili ya masuala ya kodi nchini humo na katika link ifuatayo soma na utaelewa kuhusu jambo hili, please.

http://www.vakilno1.com/nri/taxation/definitions.htm

Masuala ya kuangalia wahindi wamefanza nini au wanafanza nini kwa sasa mambo ni akili kichwani.

Huku ng'ambo kuna wahindi kibao na sehemu zingine za ughaibuni ambao wamezaliwa kuanzia Jinja,Kisumu mtaa wa Kisutu pale Dar-es-Salaam na kadhalika.

Wahindi hawa wana-make kwa kuanzia na viduka vidogo (tunaita Cornershops) na humohumo wanalala kwa vitanda vile vya "double decker" vile vya 3*4 na wananyanyuana kishenzi kimaisha, je watanzania ni wangapi tumekuwa hivo tokea mwaka 1961 si tungekuwa mbali?

Kinachoangaliwa ni namna gani mtu unatumia bongo kutanzua mambo.

Tuachane na mawazo ya kutaka kulaumu kila kitu hata kama na sisi tumepewa nafasi ya kuwa huru tokea mwaka 1961!
