Kikwete to USA (May 2009)

Hii ndizo sababu alizozitoa Rais Kikwete kuhusu safari zake: [FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]"Our local businessmen cannot reach other executive areas on their own without the President’s presence. During my visit to the US, we had a luncheon with NASDAQ officials, who later held talks with Tanzanian businesspersons. Under normal circumstances, the NASDAQ president, whose stock exchange volume stands at USD7.1 trillion, cannot meet a person of the stature of TCCIA president Elvis Musiba. But because I was there, the NASDAQ president personally attended that event...When I visited Tiffany, a big jewelers company turning out billions of dollars, its officials were in some other place and had to be summoned to meet Tanzanian [T]anzanite dealers...This is how they could meet; because I was there otherwise it would have been difficult for local Tanzanite dealers to meet their US counterparts... [/FONT][FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]It is after I had talks with the NASDAQ president that we now have the US Tanzania Business Association where businessmen from the two countries can meet. I visited New York Stock Exchange, whose business volume is USD22.8 trillion, where we were given the honour to open the day’s business. It is because I was there on that day that we were given that honour...Do you think Jonathan Njau [Head of Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange] can meet those guys up there on his own? (laughter). People should not just simplify these things” - President Jakaya Kikwete quoted by The Guardian in December 2006 [/FONT]

Oh... So he visited NYSE and met NASDAQ head, as well as opening the NYSE's day business. So what??????

Just trying to justify those costly trips. Teh teh teh!

..haya mazungumzo inaelekea yalikuwa very informal. hata setting ya mazungumzo yenyewe inaelekeza hivyo.

..nilitarajia kuona ujumbe wa Kikwete na ujumbe wa Obama wamekaa mezani wakijadiliana. hivyo ndivyo inavyokuwa kwa Maraisi wanaotembelea USA kwa ziara za kikazi.

..sijapenda kabisa jinsi Raisi wetu alivyobeba makaratasi katika mazungumzo ambayo hutakiwi kuwa na makaratasi.

..kwanza, namlaumu Raisi kwa kutolijua hilo kwasababu ametembea sana, na alisha-serve kama waziri wa mambo ya kwa miaka 10. pili, nawalaumu washauri wa Raisi kwa kutomkataza Raisi kubeba makaratasi yale.

..hivi a PHONE CALL haingeweza ku-accomplish hicho walichopata kwa ziara hii?

..hata Press Secretary wa Obama alishindwa kabisa kueleza Kikwete anafanya nini White House.

..kama kweli kungekuwa na jambo zito la maana ktk mkutano wao lazima Kikwete na Obama wangekuwa na joint press conference baada ya mazungumzo yao.

NB:

..halafu zingatia kwamba hawatumii neno INVITATION.

Dear community members,

First of all I say hi! to everybody.

Since I heard the news that our loved president has an official visit to the US, I was very much interested to know the content of the visit that included visiting one to two universities and meeting President Obama.

Question: What benefits to Tanzanians are expecting from the president's visit? When he will sit down and come up with strategies that Tanzania could be self sustainable instead of depending on donations from developed countries?
