Mzalendo,
..nadhani tatizo la hii community ni kwamba ime-base on COMPETITION among member states na siyo UNDUGU.
..niliwahi kusema haya kabla hujaanza kuchangia humu, lakini wengi[on kenyan side] wakaniona mtu wa ajabu.
..wananchi wa East Africa r not encouraged to respect each respect each other, let alone care about one another.
..member states[governments] r trying to out smart one another, instead of working together to make sure each country is getting a fair share or deal.
..competition is good, but it should not get to the point where it becomes ugly and threatens the very existence of the community. Competition should encourage professionalism, efficiency, and other things which move the community forward in a positive direction.
..It is very unfortunate kwamba so far chuki, dharau, na matusi, r a common thing among citizens of EAC.
NB:
..diplomatic relations btn Moi and M-7 were not good prior to 1995.
..siku Mkapa anakuwa sworn in, Moi alimsalimia Mwalimu Nyerere huku akimu-ignore M-7. Mwalimu Nyerere who was seated btn the two presidents akawaelekeza washikane mikono and the entire stadium wakashangilia. Walipofika Ikulu Moi,M-7,na Mkapa, ndiyo wakaazimia ku-revive the EAC.
..but i have to agree with u that the relationship among our Presidents r not good. This is not the relationship that Mwalimu had with the likes of Kaunda,Samora,Obote etc. tatizo nadhani linarudi kulekule kwamba kila kiongozi anajaribu kumzidi mahesabu na kuwa mjanja-mjanja zaidi ya mwenzake.

Kenya is just as bad if not worse when it comes to bribes and extorting from business by police, KRA, KPA,KPC etc. I am talking from experience, Uganda is a little better and South sudan is another jungle where drivers even get killed sometimes by the SPLA.

Olenguitui,Thats not the language you use against neighbours. It is not even worth being published. While i dont support NTBs, i think looking at roadblocks alone can not be a measure enough. between Nairobi and Meru (240km) you will encounter not less than 4 roadblocks and tens of police checks. Namanga to Dar es Salaam (750km) you will encounter less than 5 roadblocks and less than 5 police check points. Who is fooling who ? i am a Kenyan.

At times i fail to understand motives behind this kind of reports! So does it mean that police check points and weight bridge are more trade hindrance than http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/-/539552/658040/-/view/printVersion/-/11nt4ba/-/index.html and http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/news/-/2558/1189114/-/view/printVersion/-/m56pxqz/-/index.html. Or the known fact that Kenya is more corrupt than the rest on the global corruption Index? Have u guys forgot what happened when police check points were removed earlier in 2000s in Northern cities of Arusha and Moshi that forced an immediate re-introduction of Police check points! How about overloading by trucks!? should our roads not be protected?

Truth be told that Tanzanians are usually uneasy with foreigners,including fellow East Africans.There is an unspoken suspicion on what are you upto and how is it going to benefit wazalendo.It didnt help either that the largest armed robbery in the history of their nation was pulled by Kenyans whose case is still on going.Kenya will have to learn to live with a neighbor who doesnt like you!

It is high time the rest of EAC cooperating countries do something about TZ.It is like the current government in TZ see EAC common market as not beneficial, or what else best explains Tanzania's behaviour?? Personally, I find TZ behaviour really backward, they treat Kenyans like criminals.

Kawaida huwa na admire watu kama akina kenneth kaunda sana. Huyu ndio naweza sema baada ya mandela apewe recognition kwa sababu he was born for mediation, a peace maker indeed. If we can have such people currently katika siasa, tunaweza kuwa na uhusiano mwema wa kibalozi, haijalishi hata kama mifumo za serikali zinatofautiana. Huu ujanja unaopangwa na viongozi EAC inatuelekeza kwa miendo za konokono katika kukoma kisiasa. Tunaweza kuiga mifano za sera za ulaya na misingi wameweka katika EU. Competition ni nzuri, ikiwa inafaidi pande zote mbili, lakini ikiwa ni mmoja anafaidika zaidi kushinda mwenzake, itakuwa inaitwa man-eat-man society. Not a healthy way to interact.
Kama ulivyosema competition should encourage professionalism. Yawezekana kuna competition nzuri lakini unfairness/political interference inaweza letwa na vibaraka walio na tamaa ya kuchuma vya bure na kuvuna ambapo hawajapanda. Itakuwa vizuri vizingiti vikiondolewa na wewe fikiria mwenyewe kwamba uko na uhuru wa kufanya kazi, kuelimika, na kufanya biashara popote. Itakuwa maisha nzuri jinsi gani?

Pamoja na sie watz kuwa na matatizo ya kimsingi kama vile ufisadi, rushwa, miundombinu mibovu na mengineyo lakini mie naona tatizo la EAC ni tofauti za kitabia na kimtazamo kati ya wakenya na watanzania. Nionavyo wakenya waliaminishwa sana kuwa wao ni bora zaidi kuliko watanzania na wakaendelea kuamini hivyo kwa muda mrefu sana. Tatizo hilo lipo hata ndani ya kenya ambako wakikuyu wamejiona bora kuliko wengine na kufanikiwa kuwakalia wengine kwa miaka mingi.
Kwa miaka mingi wakenya waliamini kuwa ktk Afrika mashariki wao ndio wako juu na wanaweza kudrive nchi zingine vyovyote wanavyotaka. Walijisikia wanafanikiwa sana walipoona jumuiya imeanzishwa maana wakati huo waligundua kuwa njia pekee ya kenya kumaliza matatizo yake ni kushirikiana na TZ nchi ambayo awali hawakuona umuhimu wake. Wakati huo Tz ilikuwa ikiongozwa na mwandishi wa habari ambaye alikuwa akifanya maamuzi ya kikasuku, aliyefanya kazi ya kuiuza tanzania kwa juhudi kubwa bila hata tahadhari. Alishindwa hata kuona umuhimu wa kusukuma SADC ielekee kwenye shirikisho, akaamua kufuata upepo wa akina Moi kuanzisha jumuiya na watu waliojaa njaa, wajeuri, dharau na kiburi cha kuzaliwa.
Ukweli ni kuwa chuki za sasa kati ya wakenya na waTz zinatokana na mindset ya wakenya kuelekea kwa watz. Dawa yake ni kuanzisha program ya kuwaelimisha wakenya jinsi ya kuwa na staha kwa watu wengine na halafu watambue kuwa pamoja na kuwa Tz kwa sasa tuna uongozi mbovu lakini bado tunatambua kuwa tunatakiwa kulinda maslahi yetu ya kiuchumi, kijamii na kiusalama. Wakenya watarajie ushindani zaidi kiuchumi kutoka Tz kuliko kukumbatiana na kuungana, waendelee kuwaendesha hao wengine wasiowajua vizuri wakenya. Sie watanzania tunawaelewa vizuri wakenya na tunajua vizuri changamoto za muungano kuliko nchi yoyote EAC, na tunajijua vizuri zaidi sie kuliko wakenya wanavyotufahamu. Tunajua tulikotoka na jinsi kenya isivyoaminika na Tz haiwezi kurudia kosa.
Vyombo vya habari vya kenya viache kuiganda Tz kama luba vijikite kuelezea matatizo ya kenya kama vile ukabila, rushwa, ufisadi, ardhi, chokoraa lukuki walio kila mahali pamoja na tatizo la wanaume kupigwa na wake zao.
Kama wakenya wanahitaji sana ushirikiano wa kibiashara na wanaona kuwa EAC kuna vikwazo vingi basi waelekeze nguvu zao ktk IGAD huko watafanya biashara na somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan na Djibout.

umesahau Uganda kwa jedwali lako, Tz mtalalama hadi lini? We dont need a mind reset mkuu, its pure competition and if you cant sustain a barrage of Kenyan domination the only thing to do is to shut out your markets. Infact Kenyans arent bothered with what transpires inside Tz, we made a deal to scrap border cumbersomeness. Kenyans dont charge you these petty levies, why should you? Its a competitive world we leave in. If Tanzania had superior products, Dar would never lose business to Mombasa or you feeling threatened by Kenya toying with an airport in Taveta. Its the reinvention in your mindsets that is needed. arrogance doesnt take a night to florish. if facts are laid out and you keep disputing them, decisions arrived then you bankroll on them its most likely a possible consequence is arrogance and despise. Dont blame Kenya on EAC woes, infact Kenya hosts the biggest trade corridor that serves EAST and CENTRAL AFRICA with this implying that we will lose business on full implementation of EAC. However no authority is complaining, EAC will reward in better ways in the long term and its appetizing. a symbiotic relationship for the EAC member states. Meanwhile Kenya is busy thinking outside the natural EAC partner states by tapping to markets such as Ethiopia and SS. Why do tanzanians feel threatened by EAC? Ugandans are good, rwandans perfect...but Tanzania.
