Mlege...
I have never seen such kind of fear from ones writting! why do u thing we cant compete?
Competition increases efficiency i am 100% for a common market cause i belive good things will
come out of it. For how long shall we be afraid? Till when? Using what indicators can we judge that
now is the right time? If we want growth we need to act.
Let us not let political speeches blind us, parliamntarian's only wants votes now, they will say almost
anything to make sure they get political apeal. Furthermore, most of what they say lacks emperical
as well as emprical evidences- we need that expansive market, we need widernern labour opportunities
we need easy mobility within these five countries.
Why are we afraid- i can alomst say that the fear is pyschological- and self induced- which we can get rid with
without any kind of therapies.
Its time-no time to waste!
Shugri,
Yours, and arguments of fellow supporters of EAC are using Strawman Argument Fallacy to advance your point.
Strawman -- effigy or a paper model -- and shoot it sort of argument.
EAC supporters brand as "coward" anyone who opposes EAC. You misrepresent illegality of EAC and its ill-motives by suggesting we the opponent of EAC are "afraid", have "fears", "cannot compete" (all these strawmen), then you attack the strawmen you created, and pretend you have "won" the argument.
Sheer crap!
This is also Red-Herring Argument Fallacy -- You introduce a distraction ("you are cowards") so that the argument moves from the real one -- pork projects suggested, and that EAC is with evil intentions about Tanzania.
So, if you have nothing meaningful to contribute, just hold on your peace, otherwise the topic of discussion here is the Pork Projects and ways of contributing.
The your four countries can go on their cooperation, if only one country Tanzania pulls out. Right?
Members of Parliamment, this is your last chance of showing that you care, and you know what you are doing. Do the right thing and reject this animus EAC.
