Burundi yaingia COW Rasmi

Burundi, which attended the CoW meeting for the first time, asked to be allowed to join all initiatives.
The formal inclusion of Burundi and Tanzania in the talks for closer economic ties will reshape the political-economic map of the region, as the countries seek to heal a rift that had threatened to scuttle the East African Community.


Burundi now wants to participate in the implementation of joint infrastructure projects by Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan, leaving Tanzania isolated in the region.

At the same time, the so-called Coalition of the Willing partners appeared to forge ahead with plans for the standard gauge railway that will link the countries after Uganda and Rwanda said they would adopt Kenya's controversial financing approach, in which it is receiving 85 per cent financing (or $4.4 billion) from Exim Bank of China.

The model has drawn controversy in Kenya, but a parliamentary committee has finally given the go-ahead for the project.

Questions had been raised over the capacity of China Bridge and Road Corporation to build the Ksh448 billion ($5.2 billion) Mombasa-Malaba railway and over why the contract had been single-sourced.

It has also emerged that Uganda now wants to terminate an agreement it entered with a Chinese firm for the construction of its SGR as the fight for the contract enters a decisive phase.

Meeting in Kampala on Thursday for the Northern Corridor Integration Project Summit, Presidents Uhuru Kenyatta (Kenya), Yoweri Museveni (Uganda) and Paul Kagame (Rwanda) agreed that Uganda and Rwanda would adopt the Kenyan financing approach to fast-track the construction of the SGR and report to the next Summit due in April.

The presidents said the countries must meet the March 2018 deadline for completion of the standard gauge line. This came even as it emerged that Uganda would cancel an existing deal on the SGR.

According to a February 5 letter from Uganda's Works Permanent Secretary Alex Okello to the Solicitor General, the ministry acknowledges that it signed a MoU with the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation in January 2012 "for purposes of rehabilitating or upgrading of the existing railway line from Malaba to Kampala."

Okello goes on to explain that after joining Kenya and Rwanda in a tripartite agreement to develop a standard gauge railway, the MoU with CCECC has to be terminated to make way for regional negotiations. He seeks legal guidance from the Solicitor General on how this can be achieved in the shortest possible time.

The letter does not explain what aspects of the tripartite agreement make it necessary for Uganda to cancel the MoU, especially given that the same ministry is trying to enter into a new MoU with another Chinese civil contractor, the China Harbour Engineering Corporation, CHEC.

The PS's letter is also at variance with recent developments that have seen Kenya proceed to award the contract for its portion of the SGR to the China Road and Bridge Corporation, another subsidiary of CHEC's parent China Civil Construction Corporation, which is undertaking construction of the Kampala-Entebbe superhighway.

Junior Works Minister John Byabagambi, who is chair of the SGR Steering Committee, ruled out the possibility of the regional SGR project being awarded to a single contractor, saying each country would manage its portions of the project although they would try to jointly approach the Chinese government for funding.

Uganda's portion of the line will cost an estimated $5 billion, not $7 billion as earlier estimated, he said.

Meanwhile, Burundi, which attended the CoW meeting for the first time, asked to be allowed to join all initiatives.

The formal inclusion of Burundi and Tanzania in the talks for closer economic ties will reshape the political-economic map of the region, as the countries seek to heal a rift that had threatened to scuttle the East African Community.

The heads of state directed their ministers of foreign affairs to co-ordinate Burundi's interest and invite the ministers of Burundi and Tanzania to the next technical and ministerial meetings.

Leaders from the three countries first met in June last year to discuss joint investments in a new standard gauge railway, an oil refinery in Uganda and oil pipelines. They were joined in Kigali by President Salva Kiir of South Sudan, who was expected to join the grouping.

Burundi's Vice President Gervais Rufyikiri said that as a landlocked country, they recognise the need for the infrastructure projects that are currently being undertaken by Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda.

"So Burundi fully supports all infrastructure projects as they are important in developing this region but in all these initiatives we have been excluded at all levels," he said. "We therefore request to be included in all the technical meetings and the political decisions."

• Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on email Share on print More Sharing Services

Kenya stands out in the African continent with a growing economy not dependant only on natural resources anymore,but expanding to other emerging sectors including ICT.Ease of doing business ranking has been on the rise since reforms took place in the regulatory framework and this has placed the country on the forefront of leapfrogging technology and energy production innovation.
Although the biggest driver of Kenya's economy has traditionally been Agriculture, with the emergence of the Services and ICT industries, the GDP is projected to grow by between 4-5% in 2011 and the ICT sector is expected to surpass the agricultural sector in the next 5 years.
The country's developmental blueprint which is the Vision 2030 has identified the Business Process Outsourcing/ Information Technology Enabled Services (BPO/ITES) as a flagship programme for driving economic growth. It is expected to create at least 7,500 direct jobs and increase GDP by 80 million GBP by 2012. These projects are now considered conservative following the arrival of three fibre optic submarine cables in 2009 namely TEAMS, SEACOM and EASSy which have perpetuated supply of bandwidth ultimately driving down the cost of connectivity.


There are many reasons as to why Kenya is a favorable destination for investment these include:

• Talent for BPO/ITES Services- Kenya is home to very talented youth who are particularly suited for voice services because of our neutral accents. This is partly attributed to our colonial heritage from the British, and partly many years of undisturbed education system. Kenyans are known for innovation as demonstrated by the all very well known MPesa and software development for some of the best banks in the world through outsourcing models
• Stable pro-investment government- Since the re-emergence of multi-party democracy, Kenyans have enjoyed an increased degree of freedom and maintained remarkable political stability compared to neighboring countries. The new constitution which came into law on 1st Aug 2010 has cemented the stability by guaranteeing investors and citizens alike rights that promote economic and social growth.
• Business friendly regulatory reforms- The Investment Promotion Act (2004), promotes and facilitates investment by assisting investors in obtaining the licenses necessary to invest and providing other assistance and incentives.
• Strategic location and regional financial, communications and transport hub- Kenya strategic location and well developed business infrastructure makes it a natural choice for investors and many international firms have made it their regional base banking on its transport and communication systems for speed to market.
• Well-established local and foreign private sector- Kenya has a very substantial private sector including many foreign investors and has been touted as one of the most resilient in the world.
• Fully liberalized economy- There is free flow of trade and foreign private investment.

All the above factors coupled with the friendly business environment and an innovative culture have made Kenya a premier outsourcing destination and facilitated the formation of strong local BPO/ITES companies such as Kencall (awarded best non- European Call Centre, 2008), Horizon Contact Centres, Direct Channel, TechnoBrain (former Kentech data), Adept Systems and Craft Silicon, a leading software development house. There is equally notable interest from a number of international outsourcing currently at various levels of feasibility studies. Kenya is also host to regional offices for the world's biggest technology companies including Microsoft, Google, Cisco, Oracle, IBM and SAP. The expatriate community in Kenya is in excess of 50,000.

We recently announced that we have funded ActionAid in support of a project to map incidents of land grabbing in rural Tanzania. It's a huge problem affecting vast swathes of the country, as the following update from ActionAid clearly shows:

Halima and her community lost their land to a UK biofuels company. They were promised fair compensation and badly-needed social services in exchange – but none of these promises have been kept. Halima is now struggling to survive and is campaigning to reclaim the rights of her family and community.
Halima Ali says her involvement in local politics is motivated by a desire to have women's voices represented in village decision-making. She has found it increasingly difficult to feed her family since they lost access to common land now owned by the company. Ali used to rely on this common land to derive an income from timber collection and charcoal production. Without access to nearby wells now on the biofuels plantation, Halima now has to travel 6.5km to collect water during the dry season.

Halima Weli (right) has lost land to a biofuels plantatio
n that has acquired 8,000 hectares of land in the Kisarawe region of Tanzania.
Residents of the eleven villages surrounding the plantation are very unhappy and angry at the way they have been treated. Land has been grabbed with little or no compensation resulting in a loss of livelihood. Residents have lost access to water sources as well as the grave-sites of ancestors. Public amenities including schools, dispensaries and wells, promised as part of a compensation package for local residents, have not materialised.

BURUNDI CAN TELL UPANDE UPI SIAGI IMEKOLEA


DODOMA- The Tanzanian government has initiated talks with neighbouring Burundi and Democratic republic of Congo (DRC) with a view of establishing economic and trade relations in the backdrop of weakening relations within the East Africa Community (EAC).

The Tanzanian minister for East Africa Cooperation, Mr Samuel Sitta, said in Dodoma yesterday Tanzania has not been sitting idle after three partners in the regional groupings started "sidelining the remaining two partners".

Mr Sitta said economically, it is sensible to work with the DR Congo now because the country holds immense economic potential in the region.

That is why the government was concentrating on implementing a project of construction of a railway line from Uvinza in Kigoma Region to Msongati in order to connect the country with the DR Congo.

"Our problem now is that a road linking us to Goma in DRC goes through Rwanda. But we will construct the rail to Msongati from Uvinza," he said.

He also said Tanzania looks at Burundi because it is cost effective for the country businessmen to use Dar es Salaam instead of Mombasa port.

He noted that a Bujumbura businessman who opts for Mombasa port travels 900km more compared o the one who uses Dar port.

Feeling left out
For some months now Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda have opted to forge ahead with integration agenda in the absence of Tanzania and Burundi. The three partners have reached a point of debating a protocol to speed the formation of political federation.

However, Mr Sitta appeared to be cautious when reacting to the questions from Members of Parliament stressing that time was not yet ripe for Tanzania to take bold steps as reaction to what three EAC members were doing.
"It pains if our partners are acting behind our back. But on this issue I would like to advice you that we should heed a counsel by former President Ali Hassan Mwinyi who said that a best way of dealing with a liar is to give him space," he said.

Mr Sitta noted that the government was now very cautious on its engagements in EAC activities. He noted that because the three countries have sometimes been inviting Tanzania to their activities, the government has been careful on where it sends its representatives.

BAA LA NJAA NGORONGORO
MPYA KABISA
TOA MAONI JINA NA MAHALI
Wafugaji wa Jamii ya Kimaasai waishio katika tarafa ya Ngorongoro mkoani Arusha wameendelea kuililia Serikali na kuitaka itoe uamuzi wa haraka juu ya mustakabali wa maisha ya Wananchi hao ambao wanataka waruhusiwe kufanya kilimo cha kujikimu.
Wananchi hao wametoa kilio hicho wakati wa ziara ya baadhi ya Waandishi wa Habari wa mkoani Arusha waliofika bonde la Ngorongoro kujionea hali ya maisha inavyoendelea kwa Wafugaji hao ambao wamekuwa wakigawiwa Vyakula kama njia ya kuwasaidia dhidi ya njaa.
Kwa takribani miaka mitatu sasa kupitia kanuni za Mamlaka ya hifadhi Wafugaji hao wamepigwa marufuku na Serikali kufanya kilimo cha bustani ndani ya hifadhi ya bonde la Ngorongoro kwa hofu ya uharibifu wa mazingira unaotokana na shughuli za kibinadamu.
Majira ya Saa Tisa mchana katika Kijiji cha Irkepus, msafara wa Bibi na Wajukuu wake wakiwa wanarejea nyumbani baada ya kuchuma majani kwa ajili ya mlo wa Mchana.
Kama ilivyo kwa baadhi ya Familia nyingine Watoto wanaishi na Bibi zao baada ya Wazazi kutoroka kutokana na ukata wa maisha. Na hali hii inajitokeza wakati ambapo baadhi ya Wanavijiji hawana Mifugo wala akiba ya Nafaka huku Chakula cha msaada kikiwa hakijawafikia.
Ni mwendo mrefu kufika kwenye makazi ya Bibi Topooyi lakini njiani tunakutana na Saleita Nanga mjane anayeishi maisha hayo hayo ya kutoijua kesho yake.
Tani 70 zinagawiwa kwa Wananchi kutoka kwenye Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu, mbali na Mgawo huo Tani 900 za Chakula kutoka Ghala kuu la Serikali zimeshagawiwa tangu Mwezi wa 12 Mwaka jana zikiwa zimelipiwa na Baraza la Wafugaji kwa kiasi cha Shilingi Milioni 350.
Na kwa Wafugaji hawa wa Ngorongoro wanaokadiriwa kuwa ni zaidi ya 80, 000 kwao huu ni utaratibu wa kusuasua kwa kuwa Chakula wagawiwacho hakikidhi mahitaji na kwa hivi sasa wanachohitaji ni kutoka kwenye mgawo wa chakula wa msimu na kupata uhakika wa mlo wa kila siku.
Hii ni kauli ya mwisho kusikika kutoka serikalini mwishoni mwa Mwaka 2012 juu ya ombi la kilimo cha kujikimu.
Wakati hatma ya Wafugaji hawa ikisubiri ushauri utakaotolewa na watafiti hao Wakazi wa Tarafa ya Ngorongoro wanaendelea kulia na njaa huku mgawo wa Chakula unaotolewa na Serikali pamoja na makundi mbalimbali ukiwa hautoshelezi ili hali katika Vijiji vingine Chakula hicho kikichelewa kufika kwa wakati kutokana na changamoto ya miundombinu.
