Kikwete to USA (May 2009)

[Mkandara]

Leokweli,
Lakini Je, ndicho anachofanya?..na matunda yake yataonekana lini!

 

[William J. Malecela]

Lobbyist toka lini akatoa input kuhusu nani wa kupewa foreign aid wewe mtu Field Marshall wewe?

Foreign governments lobbyist unamlipa kukuunganishia audience na Whitehouse tu, he can care less kama mtapata mnachoenda kuomba huko. Na anaelipwa ni yeye lobbyist, sio DNC wala GOP, wala Whitehouse.

Kuilipa Whitehouse ili ukutane nao ndio hizo unethical "cash for access" scandals zilizowazamisha kina Stephen Payne na Jack Abramoff. Eti Kikwete kamlipa Obama at least dola laki kukutana nae...usitoe shule potofu hapa.

- Ni wazi kwamba huyajui haya na huwezi kukubali kwamba huyajui, pole sana mkuu, muda wa kukupa darasa on this sina kumbe unafikiri vinaelea tu hukujua kuwa huwa vinaundwa?

- Unafikiri Kikwete anaweza akatoka bongo tu na kwenda kumuona Obama bila ma-lobbyist kula hela zetu za kodi? Unafikiri ni kwa nini Mobuttu alikuwa ana free access na Whitehouse?

- Mkuu fanya utafiiti ili ujue jinsi balozi zetu zinawalipa hawa ma-lobbyist kutusaidia na kila kitu, sometiems uache kukurupuka mkuu, kweli unaamini ninaweza kutoka na info kama hizi bila kujua ninachokisema, mkuu tunalipa sana hao ma-lobbyist ndio maana rais wetu kapata access, pole sana kama ulikuwa hujui.

Respect.

FMES!

Leokweli,
Lakini Je, ndicho anachofanya?..na matunda yake yataonekana lini!

Sina uhakika, but mapungufu ya Hii strategy ni kwamba , Wanatakiwa wawaandae wafanyabiashara wanyumbani ili wawe na uwazo wa ku forge hizi partnerships na makampuni fanana wanayayopata huko nje, but Tatizo Mheshimiwa huwa anasafiri na list ile ile ya wafanyabiashara , e.g Ali Mfuruki, Nyiti , kina Lukaza kipindi kile kabla ya EPA which end up choose an dump, kuna watu kama ali mfuruki hawezi kuingia partnership ya 500,000 usd anataka from milioni but at the same level unaweza kumpata mfanyabiashara Arusha au mbeya in which that amount is very usefull.

So I think they just need to improve the strategy na wawe wazi zaidi ili wafanyabiashara waweze kujiandaa kwenda kutafuta fursa pamoja na mheshumiwa

Pia wafanyabiashara wetu wamezoea short cart kwahiyo wanpopata opportunity wanapokuwa na mheshimiwa follow up inkuwa mbovu, which end up for them loosing the opportunities

Mkandara,
Njia bora pekee ya kuvutia wawekezaji Tanzania ni kuboresha miundombinu na kupunguza urasimu. Hizi safari hata Mheshimiwa asafiri mara ngapi hazitasaidia kitu. Waswahili wanasema chema kinajiuza. Tukishaboresha miundombinu yetu hata uwekezaji wa ndani utachapuka. Umesoma lile tamshi justifying safari zake stock market na wapi na wapi, as long as umeme wetu ni wa mashaka na hata haukidhi mahitaji ya asilimia 10 ya watu wetu hakuna mwekezaji serious atakayefikiria kuja Tanzania, hata kama Mwungwana atasafiri nje mara ngapi matokeo yatakuwa yale yale. Leo huu ni mwaka wake wa nne madarakani, na wawekezaji pekee tunaoweza kujivunia ni Dowans na sasa Wasaudi wanaotaka kujilimia mchele? Baada ya miaka minne angekaa chini ajiulize how come mbinu zake hizi za safari mara kwa mara hazijafanikiwa?

Mkuu, hapa umemaliza kila kitu.

kuweni wastahmilivu basi kidogo, mpaka sasa majadiliano yalikuwa hivi kabla ya Reporter kukatisha 'kauhondo!'

SECRETARY CLINTON: This is a particular pleasure and honor for me to welcome the President here. We will be having a working meeting, and then he will be meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office. But Tanzania is a country that has made so much progress and has an extraordinary potential that we wish to partner with and assist in every way possible.


I myself have had a wonderful visit to your country, Mr. President. And I am delighted that I am the Secretary of State at this moment and have this chance to commit our efforts to working closely with you and to commend you on your leadership.


PRESIDENT KIKWETE: Madame Secretary, I thank you for the opportunity to meet. I thank you for – I thank President Obama for the invitation.

SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you, sir.


PRESIDENT KIKWETE: Thank you.



SECRETARY CLINTON: Welcome, Mr. President. Thank you all very much.


QUESTION: Madame Secretary, should Sri Lanka get an IMF loan (inaudible)? Has your thinking changed (inaudible)?



SECRETARY CLINTON: We’re working with the Sri Lankan Government. I spoke with the president earlier today, and we discussed a number of the efforts that his government wanted to take, as well as the international community, to assist Sri Lanka in the work that lies ahead that is very important for the healing and reconciliation in the nation. And I’ve pledged our support, and we’ll continue to follow closely what is happening there.


Thank you.

Dah.. mimi inaniuma tuu maana kumkandia JK katika hili nikama kutusi Tanzania in a way. Sishani kama mtu mzima anaweza kutaka kumeet na hawa jamaa kisa kupiga picha. That is just ridiculous.. Lazima kunakuwa na low level discussions before wakuu wa nchi kukutana so that an agenda is set and each one knows the other anakuja kusema nini. Nyie watu mmezidi I'm sorry to say.

Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete waves as he leaves the White House

Obama meets Tanzanian President
32 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) — US President Barack Obama met Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete on Thursday, in his latest attempt to engage Muslim leaders ahead of major speech to the Islamic world in Egypt next month.

Obama hosted private talks in the Oval Office which did not include a photo-op, and Kikwete left the White House without talking to reporters.

...I hope 'wapinzani' mnamuona mheshimiwa Mtukufu Rais wa Jamhuri yetu hii ya muungano wa Tanzania anavyoonekana na tabasamu lake pana na sura iliyojaa matumaini...!

 

[M$awa]

Hatimaye ! Mheshimiwa Juma Kilaza ndani ya Oval Office !

Leokweli,
Binafsi sii mtu wa upande wa kushoto na sipendi kabisa mbinu zao ktk maendeleo ya mtu maskini kwani siku zote tunawajaza matapeli nchini.. Strong leadership kwa nchi maskini hutokana na msimamo unaowekeza kwa wananchi wake kuunda jamii ambayo itaendesha uchumi wetu kwa karne zijazo na sii kutegemea wageni wasiweza hata kupata uraia wa nchi mbili..meaning at one point ni lazima wajikate!
Ukisoma kwa makini mawazo ya Jasusi ni mawazo ya kila Conservative, kwamba siku zote kizuri hujiuza na mwanamke anayejipenda mara nyingi hupata wachumba lakini sio umalaya kama huu unaofanyika.
Na siamini kabisa kazi ya rais kutembea na wafanyabiashara kwa sababu rais ni mtu anakwenda kufunga mkataba wa kibiashara na kukaribisha uwekezaji ktk sekta ambazo ni muhimu kwetu ktk kupata soko la nje..

Mara nyingi tunasahau kwamba Wageni wanapokuwa nchini iwe Saudia kulima mpunga nchini kinachohesabika ni kwamba mchele huo ni made in Tanzania na tunasafirisha nje.. Kodi yetu haiwezi kubadilika kama atakuwa Mtanzania au Mgeni na uwezo wa serikali kukusanya zaidi utatokana na soko tutakalo pata nje..Lakini kama Watanzania wenyewe wana uwezo wa kulima na kinachowashinda ni zana za kilimo nashindwa kabisa kuelewa kwa nini serikali ipo radhi kununua mashangingi na misafara kama hii kutafuta waarabu kuja kulima mpunga ktk eneo ambalo sisi wenyewe tunaweza kabisa kulima na kutosheleza soko la Saudia..
Kwa nini JK asiweke mkataba na Saudia ktk ununuzi wa mchele toka Tanzania na sisi tukajipanga kuweza ku supply demand yao!..Navyofahamu mimi ktk ubepari viongozi wa nchi huweka mikataba kama hakika ya mwanzo ya mauzo ushirikiano wa Kibiashara na sio kutembea na wafanyabiashara wadogo wanaotembea na sample mikononi kutafuta soko nje..Kwa mfano Prime minister wetu alikwenda UK, China na US kuweka mkataba wa kuuza mbao zetu huko jambo ambalo limekuwa likipigwa vita sana na wananchi wa nchi hizo..Lakini sikuona Priminister wetu akiandamana na wanamisitu au wwenyeji kujipanga na wanunuzi ktk zikao vyote.. Prime Minister alijua uwezo wetu ktk kusupply na wao walijua ni kiasi gani cha mbao zetu wanazihitaji ukiondoa supplier wengine..
Hivyo kazi inabakia kwa wakulima (wanamisitu) kuweza kuzalisha kiwango kinachotakiwa na kama ikitokea wamezalisha Zaidi au Pungufu serikali huwapa wakulima subsidy kutokana na hesabu zinavyo fahamika lakini sii kwetu..

Zamani enzi za mwalimu Tanzania ilijulikana duniani kwa mass production ya Sisal, Cotton, Coffee beans, Korosho na kadhalika hivyo hapakuwa na haja kabisa yetu sisi kujitangaza isipokuwa tulipeleka mali zetu sokoni. Utamaduni huo ulikufa baada tu ya Ujamaa kufa na hasa pale bei za bidhaa hizo ilipoporomoka.. Leo hii hatuna bidhaa yoyote ambayo tunaweza kujivunia au kuitangaza nje.. na sidhani kama JK anaweza kutafuta soko la kitu chochote wakati hana uhakika wa uzalishaji wake nchini.

Mimi nashindwa kuelewa kwa nini tumeacha Kilimo kama uti wa mgongo wa uchumi wetu. Sioni ndani kabisa kama alivyosema Jasusi..Unless Muungwana anataka kunambia hata kufua umeme, kusambaza gas yetu tunahitaji msaada au mwekezaji toka nje. Ni kitu gani hasa anacho shop nashindwa kuelewa kwani hao kina Johnson ni wababishaji tu biashara zao za Kariakoo - zinafanyika South East ya miji mingi ya US..
Til now, can't stop wondering kuna kitu gani ambacho sikifahamu kitatokana na misafara hii!..

Dogo anajipikcha !

Picha zipo ! Hapo kama naumona vile Obama anajiuliza hili nalo Kuuuubwa omba omba ! LOL

Duh !!

 

[ZeMarcopolo]

Eti haya mazungumzo kati ya JK na BO yalichukua muda gani?

 

[Mkandara]

Haya tupeni yaliyoajiri... isije tu, JK kaahidi Kigamboni kujengwa jela ya Magaidi kama wataweza kutujengea daraja!

 

[ZeMarcopolo]

Picha zipo ! Hapo kama naumona vile Obama anajiuliza hili nalo Kuuuubwa omba omba ! LOL

Duh !!

M$awa, hakuna Rais asiyeomba. Kunaweza kuwa na tofauti ya wanachoomba ila kuomba ni kitu cha kawaida kwa nchi zote duniani.

...safi sana, weka hayo mapicha hapa. Agence France-Presse (washington) walitaka kutunyima 'riwaya' za alfu-lela u lela hapa.

 

[Dilunga]

Obama's spokesman Robert Gibbs said "I think the president obviously will continue his outreach in the lead-up to his speech in Cairo with continued outreach to elected Muslim leaders like the president."

Aya yaya yaya..... kumbe calculation ya Whitehouse ndio hii kumualika Rais wa Tanzania kumtumia kama ki token cha kuwafurahisha Mujaheedena wenye bifu na US wanao waomba undugu?

Huyu Obama nae should know better, Rais wa Tanzania hawezi kuwa painted as ``Muslim leader,`` udini hauna political prominence katika jamii ya Tanzania. Mtu kama Kambarage angeitwa kidini dini hivyo angemfurumusha huyo Obama na kisafari angeki call off hapo hapo. Kikwete hata hajijali kama katumiwa, utasikia ``liwa ule.``

 

[Mkandara]

Dilunga,
Yamekuwa hayo tena!..au hukuelewa kilichozungumzwa
Bofya..

- Yaaani sasa una akili kuliko hata CIA, una maana White House na CIA ni wajinga kumtumia huyu kama chambo chao kwa Muslims, yaani kweli unaamini wamekurupuka tu bila home work ya wanachokifanya? Mengine uwe unakubali kwamba huyajui mkuu.

Respect.
