As Anne Mugisha put it aptly, Tanzanians do welcome EAC cooperation but NOT in its present form.
I dont see why it should be Fast Tracked and one might ask, to whos benefit?.
Today there is a conflict on land betwen Uganda and Kenya(Migingo Island)
Today Kenya is unstable politically-the political bickering between the President and the Prime Minister
Today Uganda is lukewarm politically though Museveni gives me the creeps!
Like Anne suggested earlier lets get the common services going first.Political Unions are a very tricky business.
And what could these common services be?
Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and Kenya are desperate for land. The former three need access to the coast. Kenya, with relatively few more industries than the rest is seeking market expansion. What is in it for Tanzania?
Lets not kid ourselves people; the sticking point in this whole EAC deal is land. If Tanzania refuses to budge on land, there will be no EAC. Period.
