SAA may be "broke" but they have huge claim against Air Tanzania.4M dollars in 2006 if you add interest is a pricey sum now.

Ex-parte orders are issued every day. Especially if such orders are a conservatory. If you disclose to the debtor (Air Tanzania) that you intend to sue them - then she may never lands her planes in the jurisdiction of the court making any further ruling nugatory. Once the plane has been seized -...

Great news. It appears we are on track to eliminate poverty by 2030. That is huge.

None of what you says is central planning. Not even in housing - where GOV is providing Land & infrastructure - private developers are building houses - and whoever get their salary deducted is eligible to buy those house for 1-3m shs. Obviously it would be nice to eventually remove the forced...

Every gov has some form of central planning in form of budget making. The difference btw communist state like Tanzania of Nyerere and Kenya is that gov is the only PLANNER & Executioner. If you look at Kulalu - gov plan was to build the infrastructure around the 1M acre farm - start a model farm...

There is big difference btw communism and socialism. Kenya has always been a socialist & capitalist state - it had it brand of socialism - that Mboya and Kibaki captures in Sessional Paper named "Africa Socialiasm" - and whose foundation is harambee spirit of Africa socialism.

I think you're looking at lagging indicators. It's not like Kikwete handed JPM an economy that wasn't growing. JPM was handed a robust economy that has averaged 7% the last 15yrs and he is wrecking him apart. Like I have said previously JPM is of course well meaning and probably think he is...

We know that already. He already clamped down on press like any washed up dictator does. I am more interested in your OWN rebuttal of Economist article. I guess you agree with Economist that Maguful is NOTHING BUT A DISASTER - and GOD help TZ if he continues for another 5yrs. And sadly it...

I couldn't agree more. President John Magufuli hates critics, gay people and accurate statistics Tanzania’s leader, the “Bulldozer”, runs off course Excerpt The president has been foolish in economic matters too. The effect of his closure of the Citizen was the opposite of what he intended...

I am not bragging. Certainly Kenya can and ought to do better.I believe Kenya can compete with South Africa - if we seriously invest in our travel & tourism sector. But TZ is so far behind.

There is more to tourism than international receipts. Kenya has a well developed domestic tourism. This was developed in late 90s and early 2000s as response to terror & clashes after international tourist fled. That mean kenya hotels during lean seasons have packages for domestic tourism to...

The usual nonsense from the resident idiot. Now let's get some facts 1) Kenya International Tourist receipts this year were 1.57B 2) Total industry contributed about 8B dollars. Tanzania is NOWHERE near there. According to World Travel & Tourism Council report, Kenya is now positioned as the...

Indeed without Alshabaab kenya would probably be heading to 3-4M tourist. I am glad this year we finally reached 2.1M foreign tourists. Still a far cry from South Africa's 10M. We need to concentrate esp on attracting more tourists from Africa. And of course domestic tourism really help fill the...

BRT was certainly not discovered in TZ - it a WB template ever since it was tried in Latin America. Anyway I think there is no point arguing the obvious. Kenya education system despite it problems is well regarded. Kenya kids have been consistently found to better than South African kids - when...

I hope it was given to Chinese. We want the road - the other stuff are secondary.
