The problem you guys talk thinking SGR and a couple of fancy buildings will change your fortunes overnight. You have no idea of what is happening in Kenya besides politics and loans which you guys are fed on the headlines daily. Tanzania is a great country but it fails to leverage it's opportunities. Like no one is criticizing the government taking up projects that have no economic benefit hata kama it's with internal revenues. You just praise it because you have been told it's good. That cash can be used to subsidize a sector like your airline and make your country a transit hub like ETH or subsidize manufacturing to make your products competitive in the region. You want to attract diplomats and conferences in Dodoma but Kigali is a step ahead and they're even getting loans to build queer things like hotels and arenas. Now you've seen "failed banana republic" Kenya that has other issues as a seemingly soft target on transit business forgetting we have small transit business to landlocked countries that mainly fall on your side. You keep forgetting our private sector and citizens are way robust than any country around. Just look at the input from Kenyans in the diaspora or the service and manufacturing sector. Even that failed government is doing major things hata tukipiga mdomo social media.
I look at Tanzania's map sometimes and salivate; 5 landlocked countries, countless tourist destinations, peaceful country, beautiful Zanzibar, the long coastal stretch and the minerals. But still subpar performance on human and economic development.
How do you call it sub par our HDI is around 0.53...greater than Ethiopia 0.47 ...yours around 0.59...greater in the region
Yes Ujamaa uli slow sana our private individual development cause hamna mtu aliruhusiwa kuwa na mali nying sana...but uliondoa tribalism ..ulibuild unity ndo maana in 2017/ 2018 Tz ilikua ya kwanza kwa inequality rate ndogo SSA..kama unakataa ntakuletea link
Unaongelea kwamba tumebase kwenye transit tumesahau vitu vingine
1..Stiglers Gorge 2100 mw inajenga kupunguza umeme..right now only ethi sells umeme cheaper in eA..Unit Tz ni 350tsh hapo tumeweka na bei ya kuchangia rural electrification..
2.Tumefanya Mining reforms na kuanzisha mineral markets ili kukusanya kodi zaidi...na kuwa na share kubwa kewnye madini
3..Tourism tunaongoza EA kwa revenues huyo rwanda muache na vi confrenece vyake ..bado hta hajawapita nyie ndo atupite sisi...hizo deal za visit rwanda tumezipiga sana 2010 EPL stadiums
4..Unasahau kwa kujenga Reli na Meli mpya tunasaidia wanachi kupata bei nafuu ya services...
5..Health sector ndo usiguse ..most affordable public services ziko Tz plus tunaongeza hospitals na health centers kwa kasi
6.. Holticulture ingawa mnaongoza kwa sasa tuko tunakuja ..last year 700mil usd exports nyie mko kwenye 1.2usd bn (i stand to be corrected)
7..as we stand paved roads ziko 12k kilometers na nyingne nying zinajengwa ..
By all that sisemi kenya hamfanyi kitu..but Tz is growing rapidly..hayo maneno sijui Tz hatuko happy ..hatu attract investment..ni wazungu wanachonga kisa tunataka ku protect Madini yetu wenyewe huo si upumbavu..waache waandike kila wanachoweza ...kuhusu furaha yetu..
Politics hapa nakubali hatu perform vizuri ..ila hatuattarct watu kisa tunataka walipe tax na mikataba iwe mipya ni upuuzi we want to protect our resources hao wazungu wamezoea kutula ..
Juzi nimesoma report ya Germany wanasema tz iko least kwenye ku attarct yes ..ni kweli na kwasababu kubwa hatuja fast track deal lao la kuinvest kwenye Gas kujenga viwanda..at some point nakubali tuko slow..kwenye mikataba amabyo inabid tuwe fast kumake decision ..but the should be better ones
