On July 29, 1961 the Minister for Home Affairs, Mr George Kahama, held a press conference at Msimbazi in Dar es Salaam at which he unveiled the flag of Tanganyika, which had been endorsed by Her Britannic Majesty, Queen Elizabeth-II.

The flag had three colours: green, gold and black.

The black colour – inserted between two golden colours - represented the people of Tanganyika, a majority of whom are blacks.

The two golden colours, Mr Kahama said, represented the mineral wealth of Tanganyika while the green colours represented the country’s natural vegetation and rich agricultural resources.

The flag, which was an important element in the countdown to the independence of Tanganyika, was handed over to Prime Minister Julius Nyerere in November 1961.



Thousands flock the airport to meet with Nyerere as he returns from the UK.

The enthusiastic crowd of Tanganyikans thronged the airport in Dar es Salaam on July 22, 1961 as they sought to meet with Prime Minister Nyerere who was returning from the United Kingdom. Upon arrival, the vividly joyful Nyerere greeted journalists with a slogan ‘Uhuru na Kazi – Swahili meaning Freedom and Work’.

He said he was happy with what had happened at the meeting in London regarding the job that was being done by the East African Community, noting however that he was not pleased with the financial decisions that were reached at the meeting.

Mr Nyerere said on that day that it was not yet the time to speak into details, noting however that he would do so at a later day.

Before leaving the airport, Nyerere said his tour of the UK had yielded results that were “half a success and half a failure.”

Mr Nyerere invites Jomo Kenyatta to Tanganyika after the latter’s release from prison.




In August 1961, Mr Nyerere invited the Kenyan leader, Mr Jomo Kenyatta, to Tanganyika after he was released from prison.

Gracing the Central Committee meeting of the Tanganyika African National Union (Tanu) in Dar es Salaam, Premier Nyerere said he wanted all people to know that the East African Community was one, and that Jomo Kenyatta was one of its leaders.

“I want everyone to know that the East African Community is one. When Kenyatta comes here, we will welcome him in his capacity as one of the leaders of the East African Community. We will not receive him in the capacity of the leader of the Kikuyu tribe,” said Mr Nyerere.

As soon as he had spoken about Mr Kenyatta, the Tanu deputy secretary general, Mr Edward Barongo, clapped to signal that the party was in support of Mr Nyerere’s stance on Kenyatta.

It was during the meeting that Nyerere also introduced the secretary general of Malawi Congress Party, Mr Kanyama Chiume, who was in Tanganyika on a short visit.



Kambona and his wife Flora get a baby boy and name him Uhuru (Freedom).

On August 5, 1961, Education minister Oscar Kambona and his wife Flora Kambona, got a baby boy and they named him ‘Uhuru’ to allude to the efforts for Tanganyika to attain independence from foreign rule.

His full name was Uhuru Mosi David Emmillius Kambona because he was born during the year that Tanganyika attained its independence from the British.

The name ‘Mosi’ (First) was because he was born on Saturday (Juma-mosi) while David was his father’s name whereas his grandfather was Emmillius.

Mr Kambona and his wife Flora got marriage in 1960 at the Saint Paul’s Cathedral in the City of London.

MY TAKE
Inakaa tayari mizizi na chimbuko la ukabila yalishaanza kumea kuonekana huko Kunyaland!
 
Nimeishi Nairobi zaidi ya 10 years. Ni kweli Nairobi wametuzidi kimiundo mbinu ya barabara. Network ya barabara ya mjini iko very beautiful and smart.

Dsm, well tunakomaa. Hatuko vibaya. Kuna sekta tupo vizuri sana. Reli ya SGR ikimalizika nadhani tutaweza kuvimba kidogo. Network ya UDART nayo ni interesting hasa hizi njia mpya zinazofunguliwa.

Kwa majengo we have no doubt about dsm. well, I can say tuko 50 50 na Nrb. Thanks to NSSF wanaojenga migorofa mirefu na yenye ubora flani.

Social amenities kama vile tuko 50 50. Japo waTz hatujui kujivunia vyetu. MNH na facilities zinazoanzishwa pale ni kipengele. Nairobi pia they have incredible hospitals.

Malls za DSM zipo classic japo business ya supermarkets dsm haikui kulingana na culture yetu waTz. Ukweli ni kwamba Nairobi wametuzidi kwa huduma ya supermarkets. We can brag with malls around ila bado hatuwezi compare na Nairobi.

Hatuna game reserves ndani ya jiji la Dsm kama Nairobi. Advantage yetu ni coastline ambayo inatufanya tuvimbe kidogo na coral and marine life along. Sure, Kuna kigamboni connectivity ya ferry. Nairobi hawana.

Nairobi kuna expensive places kama Lavington, Kileleshwa, Langata n.k hata DSM zipo. Masaki Oyestrbay na Avic Town ni places za kujivunia.

Just in t kama nimesahau au kuzidisha kitu. I stand to be corrected.
 
True to your comments.
Jiji linakuzwa na uwekezaji. Local residents kulikuza jiji ni ngumu kidogo.
 
The US firm contracted to build the Sh300 billion Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway has rejected Kenya’s offer.

PBO on Tuesday said American contractor Bechtel has settled on a model where the State pays it for building the road instead of recovering its money through user fees.

The US firm contracted to build the Sh300 billion Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway has rejected Kenya’s offer to have it construct the road and recover its costs from charging motorists toll fees.
The Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) on Tuesday said American contractor Bechtel has settled on a model where the State pays it for building the road instead of recovering its money through user fees.

This will force the government to borrow the billions of shillings, jerking public debt whose rapid growth has triggered warnings and throwing the road construction into limbo.
Motorists were expected pay toll charges for the luxury of cruising on the route which is currently characterised by heavy congestion and slow speeds.

The budget office cited a study by Inter-America Development Bank showed a road is likely to be a viable candidate for construction through the toll model if it has a flow exceeding 5,000 vehicles per day unless the government offers a substantial subsidy to the contractor.
“This limits the number of roads that can be undertaken by the model in Kenya to a few sections of the main transport corridors. Along the A8 (Malaba – Eldoret – Nakuru – Nairobi – Voi – Mombasa) road, the Nairobi Expressway has so far proved to be a viable section for tolling while the Mombasa – Nairobi Expressway has proved difficult,” PBO said.

“The contractor has indicated that the country will get better value for money if the road is constructed under an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) model rather than a toll model.”
Bechtel argues that the alternative public-private partnerships (PPP) model where the contractor sources for funds would cost five times more at $15 billion (Sh1.5 trillion) and take much longer to complete.

The plan to build the Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway dates back to the July 2015, when then US President Barack Obama signed a memoramdum of understanding with the Kenyan government.
The US government nominated construction giant Bechtel Corporation to be considered for the project.
The new dual carriageway was set to have two lanes on either side and run parallel to the current Nairobi-Mombasa Road.

The project contract was signed in August 2017 and was single-sourced to the American firm, keeping with the tradition of state-to-state funding deals that favour companies from the financing country.
The toll model has been hailed as a solution to the road financing problem since it takes the pressure off a country to accumulate public debt.
Many countries, including the Canada, France, UK, India, South Africa and Nigeria, have adopted the toll model to fund their road infrastructure.

Toll fees were introduced in Kenya in the late 1980s but were scrapped in the mid-1990s in favour of the roads maintenance levy currently charged at Sh18 per litre of petrol and diesel.
Kenya is seeking to maintain the pace of spending on new infrastructure with funding from private backers while reducing borrowings and budget deficit.
The current Sh7.8 trillion public debt accounts for 72 percent of the GDP and is above the threshold set to measure sustainability.
The government has approved construction of Nairobi Expressway by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) granting the firm a concession to operate the road and recover funds by charging motorists toll fees for 30 years before ceding it to the State.

The project is ongoing and is expected to be completed by December, 2021 at an estimated cost of Sh67 billion.
Roads targeted for tolling include Nakuru Highway, Mombasa Road, Thika Superhighway and Nairobi’s Southern Bypass.
The PBO has, however, raised concerns that toll roads may lead to civil unrest.
The Chinese contractor has kicked off recruitment of attendants to collect toll fees as the pay-for-use project nears completion.

“The Nairobi Expressway project has also not won full support of the public since the project is shrouded [in secrecy], with lack of proper and comprehensive information disclosure and other ambiguities especially on assumptions behind the 30 years’ period given to the investor and the risk mitigation measures if the assumptions fail to hold,” the PBO said.
There are also concerns that tolls will be a double tax on many motorists who are currently paying for road maintenance through the fuel levy.
The budget office cited the case of Nigeria where the tolling collection was cancelled on the Lekki Toll Road after community riots against paying of tolls.
In Kenya, a proposal to introduce tolling in 2016 on the Nairobi Southern Bypass sparked public outcry.

 
Sasa ni muda muafaka tutumie GDP yetu kujenga wenyewe hii Expressway kuliko kudharaulika mbele ya wenye hela duniani.

Mkuu ukilinganisha Vituo vya daladala, Nairobi wanatumia namba kutambua routes zao. Mfano route 134. DSM hata sijui tunatumia nini ila zaidi rangi ambazo pia zipo Nrb na barabara mfano Pugu road.

All in all we are almost the same. Daladala za Nairobi nyingi ziko pimped na mziki mnene. Kuna routes DSM hautamani kupanda hizo daladala. Nenda route ya Gerezani-MwanaGati
 


MY TAKE
Nchi tajiri zimegundua Wakunya ni mafukara na pia wameona regional competition iliyopo inayo-pose risk ya watumiaji wa Northern corridor kukimbia tozo na kupitisha mizigo yao central corridor! Nawashauri GoK wajikaze kiume na kuchukua mkopo, Kshs 300 bln is not a big deal they can afford! 😅 😅😅🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️
