Sielewi ni kwa nini Malazy mnalia lia kuhusu Rais wenu Samia. Tatizo lenu ni kwamba huwa mnataka rais anayewapiga mangumi kwa mdomo na kutoka damu ili muhisi kwamba mna kiongozi madarakani. Mnapenda madikteta. Naomba siku moja mpate kiongozi kama Putin awafinye m*kende proper.

Tanzanian Gas Dealer Makes Headways To Enter The Kenyan Market
By Citizen ReporterFor Citizen Digital Published on: March 18, 2022 04:30 (EAT)
- The gas supplier has made several unsuccessful attempts to set up operations in Kenya.
- This included the setting up of a major gas terminal in Kilifi.
- Last week, it made headway into the market during the seventh bilateral trade meeting between Kenya and Tanzania.
By Edwin Okoth
Tanzania’s cooking gas supplier, Taifa Gas, has finally found a way into the Kenyan market after rounds of negotiations through the East African secretariat.
The gas supplier has made several unsuccessful attempts to set up operations in Kenya including the setting up of a major gas terminal in Kilifi.
Last week, it made headway into the market during the seventh bilateral trade meeting between Kenya and Tanzania where the team pushed through the barriers Taifa Gas has had trying to invest in Kenya.
Taifa Gas and its setting of operations in Kenya were among the six key issues Tanzania tabled in the negotiations held in Zanzibar.
“Out of the issues presented by the United Republic of Tanzania, six issues were resolved , the delay of clearance of goods due to scanning procedure, delays in issuance of import permits for dairy products exports, cumbersome procedures by the Kenya Revenue Authority and difficulties experienced by Taifa Gas Tanzania Limited investing in Kenya," read the communique in part.
The gas dealer’s entry into the Kenyan market will mark a major change in the commodity’s supply chain said to be dogged by monopolies that have kept cooking gas out of reach for many households.
Just last week, dealers hiked the price of cooking gas by at least 15 per cent with the cost of refilling a 6kg gas cylinder now increased to between Ksh.1,500-Ksh.1,650 while that of refilling a 13kg cylinder pushed to between Ksh.3,300 to Ksh.3,500.
In Tanzania, Taifa Gas sells a 6kg cylinder together with grill and burner at Tsh.40,000, an equivalent of Ksh.1,970 in Kenya which is not even enough to refill the same size of a cylinder in the country presently.
The difference is partly driven by the Value Added Tax that Kenya levies on its gas, but the entry of a new player is expected to drive competition and lower the prices of the crucial commodity.
The government estimates that at least 75 per cent of households still rely on wood fuel (charcoal and firewood) as their primary cooking fuel, a health hazard that is driving the spread of respiratory illnesses, according to a Ministry of Energy Household Cooking Sector study released in 2020.
“This indicates great exposure to harmful pollutants emitted from burning wood and charcoal. Household Air Pollution (HAP) is one of the largest health risk factors for mortality in Kenya with about 21,560 deaths attributed to HAP annually; this is more than the average number of deaths caused by road accidents,” the ministry wrote in the report.
Kenya also pushed through to have regulations relaxed to allow direct flights by budget carrier Jambo Jet and the waiver of fees charged on tourist vehicles dropping visitors on the Tanzanian side of the Namanga border.

MY TAKE
After Rostam Aziz embarassed Uhuru, he had to swallow his pride and allow Taifa gas entrance in Kunyaland Now the guy is back in telecom sector with axian group! now let Bakhresa set up a shop in that market too!

Ex-Vodacom (T) kingpin comes back as competitor

Ex-Vodacom (T) kingpin comes back as competitor
- *Readies to take over TiGO, Zantel by Malagasy-based telecoms firm
This development arises from reports that Millicom International Cellular S.A (Millicom), the parent company of MIC Tanzania PLC and Zanzibar Telecom PLC announced that it has signed an agreement for the sale of its entire operations - TIGO and Zantel – to a consortium led by Axian Group, a company based in the Malagasy capital of Antananarivo.
This announcement which appeared in the London daily, Financial Times, were linked to unconfirmed reports that the Axian Group has already nominated a multifaceted investor, Rostam Aziz as its local partner.
Well informed sources affirm that the veteran constructor who had a noticeable role in the early part of the fourth phase government has been on the board of Vodacom (T) and in the past two years decided to transfer his shares to Vodacom (South Africa), the parent company.
Certain investors were interested in finding out more about this partnership and what it implies for procedural advertising for a competitive tender for such sale, since it wasn’t proceeded via the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange where the two firms are listed, and instead sold out externally by the parent company.
Officials of Caspian Investments, a construction firm where the telecoms investor has controlling interest, when contacted they declined to comment, stating that Caspian was a construction firm and not a mobile services provider.
There are diverse claims that Tigo and Zantel have not been operating profitably in recent years and were actually in debt to banks, etc, with investigative reporters visiting the Zantel office near the US embassy remarking that the place looks like it is virtually abandoned.
Seeking for explanation for this state of affairs, one analyst suggested that Millicom has not sufficiently invested in Tigo and Zantel during the past three to five years, wondering if they should keep their toehold here or pull out to focus on its Latin American base.
As no further elaboration was available on the disposal of local operations of Tigo and Zantel, with millions of subscribers all over the country, analysts think it is a matter that regulatory authorities shall elaborate upon by the time the procedure for effecting the sale in being deliberated or finalised.
MY TAKE
This dude is even among the shareholders of Vodacom SA a parent company of Safaricom Plc and Safaricom Ethiopia!
Mark my words come to Dar-Tanga-Mombasa gas pipeline, this guy will be among the stakeholders just like he tried to buy into RVR with Mirambo Holdings before!

Vodacom SA is not the parent company of Safaricom. Usitumie maneno bila kuyaelewa. In Accounting, ili kampuni liitwe parent company lazima limiki zaidi ya 50% ya shares ya kampuni husika. Vodacom SA inamiliki 35% pekee ya shares ya Safaricom na GoK pia inamiliki 35% ya Safaricom. Vile vile kampuni ambayo inamilikiwa kwa asilimia zaidi ya 50% inaitwa subsidiary. Kwa hivyo Safaricom sio subsidiary ya Vodacom SA.Ex-Vodacom (T) kingpin comes back as competitor

but that 56% is a consortium of Safaricom, Vodacom SA and Vodafone UK! Safaricom Kenya's stake in Safaricom Ethiopia is less than 25%!Vodacom SA is not the parent company of Safaricom. Usitumie maneno bila kuyaelewa. In Accounting, ili kampuni liitwe parent company lazima limiki zaidi ya 50% ya shares ya kampuni husika. Vodacom SA inamiliki 35% pekee ya shares ya Safaricom na GoK pia inamiliki 35% ya Safaricom. Vile vile kampuni ambayo inamilikiwa kwa asilimia zaidi ya 50% inaitwa subsidiary. Kwa hivyo Safaricom sio subsidiary ya Vodacom SA.
Ila Safaricom Kenya ni parent company ya Safaricom Ethiopia kwa sababu inamiliki 56% ya Safaricom Ethiopia.

So know take 35% of that 56% of a consortium plus the 17% of Vodacom in Safaricom Ethiopia to get the true stake of Vodacom SA that Rostam has a stake!
Also 5% of that 56% of a consortium for Vodafone UK as that's the stake in safaricom Kenya!
Vodacom eyes more stake in Safaricom
Vodacom Group has signed a deal that could see it buy an additional 10.9 percent stake in Safaricom Telecommunications Ethiopia from UK’s sovereign wealth fund CDC Group at a cost of $1.74...
