President Samia's speech among seven most important at UNGA 2021
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 29 2021
President Samia Suluhu Hassan addressing the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Summary
Samia becomes one of the few female heads of State from Africa to address the UN General Assembly.
Dar es Salaam.
________________
President’s Samia Suluhu Hassan’s maiden speech at the United Nations General Assembly (Unga), has been mentioned among the seven most important during the session.
On September 23,
President Samia Suluhu Hassan addressed Unga’s 76th session in New York, USA this week.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s speech has been selected by American website ‘Foreign Policy (FP)’ among the most important addresses at the assembly and the only one from a female head of state.
Samia becomes one of the few female heads of State from Africa to address the UN General Assembly.
Other head of the whose Unga speeches have been highlited as important includes: the U.S. President Joe Biden, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Lebanese President Michel Aoun, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
In their publication, Foreign Policy asked several of their columnists and contributors to weigh in on the speeches they found most compelling or most concerning.
When President Samia finally took the stage to deliver her speech at the Unga, she presented a distinctive contrast to the endless stream of all-male speakers who had preceded her to the podium on the third day of the General Debate.
In her maiden speech, Samia repeatedly praised multilateralism and the United Nations system. She noted her nation’s dependency on technical and financial support from external sources and admonished that “multilateralism cannot and should not succumb to the virus.”
She decried the COVID-19 vaccine inequality, noting that high and middle-income countries were now giving booster vaccinations while developing countries such as Tanzania had barely inoculated even 2 percent of its population.
“The level of vaccine inequity that we see is appalling.It is truly disheartening to see that most of the countries have inoculated less than 2 per cent of the populace and thus need to seek more vaccines for our people,”
“With the current pace, it is less likely that we will meet the WHO threshold of vaccinating at least 40 percent of people in every country by end of 2021, and at least 70 percent by the first half of 2022,” she said.
President Samia also spoke at length on gender equality, a cause she avidly advocates.
“As the first female president in the history of my country, the burden of expectation to deliver gender equality is heavier on my shoulders. Being passionate about gender equality is not sufficient and as such, my government is reviewing policy and legal frameworks in order to come up with actionable and measurable plans to ensure economic empowerment of women and other aspects pertaining to gender equality and gender parity,” she noted.
President Samia pointedly noted that ‘COVID-19 is threatening to roll back the gains made’ in gender equity and said she plans to implement policies aimed at female economic development and political and social advancement.
She assured the Assembly of Tanzania's commitment to remain a formidable member of the United Nations and a dependable supporter of multilateralism.
Other female presidents
Although most African countries joined the UN in the 1960s soon after they attained independence, with a few joining earlier than that or later, it wasn’t until 2006 that the first African female Head of State, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, addressed the UN General Assembly.
Currently, the 54 African member states of the UN make up to 28 percent of its overall membership. Before 2006, only male heads of State and governments had addressed the General Assembly.
Other African female heads of State that followed were Joyce Hilda Banda of Malawi in 2012, Catherine Samba-Panza of the Central African Republic in 2014, and most recently, Sahle-Work Zewde of Ethiopia in 2019.

Kenya most expensive country to buy fuel in East Africa
Kenyans are paying up to Sh19 more for petrol compared to their EA neighbourswww.the-star.co.ke
Kenyans are paying up to Sh19 more for a litre of petrol compared to their East African neighbours of Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda as heavy taxation takes a toll on consumers.
Motorists and transporters are paying more than double what their counterparts in Addis Ababa are paying, where a litre of petrol and diesel are retailing at an equivalent of Sh51.28 and Sh44.66, respectively.
In Uganda, which imports part of its fuel through the Port of Mombasa, a litre of super petrol is retailing at Sh131 which is lower compared to Kenya's Sh134.72.
A litre of diesel in the neighbouring country is slightly higher, by Sh2, retailing at Sh117.28 compared to Sh115.60, despite the products going through Kenya into the landlocked country.
In Dar es Salaam, a litre of super petrol is retailing at Sh115.26, which is Sh19.46 less than that of Nairobi.
Diesel is going for Sh106.90 while kerosene is retailing at Sh103.34, compared to Nairobi's pump price of Sh110.82.
A litre of petrol and diesel in Kigali(Rwanda) is Sh121.08 and Sh110, respectively, despite being a land-locked country importing through Tanzania and Kenya.
On Tuesday, fuel prices in Kenya hit a historic high after prices of petrol, diesel and kerosene increasing by Sh7.58, Sh7.94 and Sh12.97, respectively.
“The prices are inclusive of the eight per cent Value Added Tax in line with the Finance Act 2018, the Tax Act 2018, the Tax Laws(Amendment) Act 2020 and the revised rates for excise duty adjustment for inflation,” EPRA director general Daniel Kiptoo said.
The increase came despite lower global crude prices in August which averaged $70.75 a barrel, down from $75.17 in July, and a drop in the landed cost of fuel at the Port of Mombasa.
Consumers in the country pay at least nine different taxes on fuel products which constitute the biggest share of final pump prices.
They include excise duty which takes the lion's share of Sh21.95 of every litre of petrol followed by the Road Maintenance Levy (Sh18).
VAT has been adjusted upwards to Sh9.98 while the Petroleum Development levy is charged at Sh5.40.
Other levies included in the fuel pricing are Petroleum Regulatory Levy, Railway Development Levy, Anti-adulteration Levy, Merchant Shipping Levy and the Import Declaration Fee.
The high fuel prices are expected to increase the cost of living in the country, where inflation has been rising since April, hitting an 18-month high of 6.57 in August.
Manufacturers and transporters have since warned of a jump in the cost of goods and services as they move to pass the high operational costs, occasioned by the fuel price jump, to the consumers.
Agricultural products are also expected to become costlier as diesel is a key input in production, mainly in large scale farming where machinery is used.
A number of other taxes introduced by the Finance Act 2021 are also expected to impact the cost of production in the country, affecting the prices of finished goods in the retail market.
The Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) has since called on the President to request parliament to review the Finance Act.
“We need to ease the cost of living especially by dropping added taxes on cooking gas, fuel and essentials foodstuffs,” Secretary-General Stephen Mutoro said.

In Uganda, which imports part of its fuel through the Port of Mombasa, a litre of super petrol is retailing at Sh131 which is lower compared to Kenya's Sh134.72.
A litre of diesel in the neighbouring country is slightly higher, by Sh2, retailing at Sh117.28 compared to Sh115.60, despite the products going through Kenya into the landlocked country.
In Dar es Salaam, a litre of super petrol is retailing at Sh115.26, which is Sh19.46 less than that of Nairobi.
Diesel is going for Sh106.90 while kerosene is retailing at Sh103.34, compared to Nairobi's pump price of Sh110.82.
A litre of petrol and diesel in Kigali(Rwanda) is Sh121.08 and Sh110, respectively, despite being a land-locked country importing through Tanzania and Kenya.
On Tuesday, fuel prices in Kenya hit a historic high after prices of petrol, diesel and kerosene increasing by Sh7.58, Sh7.94 and Sh12.97, respectively.
“The prices are inclusive of the eight per cent Value Added Tax in line with the Finance Act 2018, the Tax Act 2018, the Tax Laws(Amendment) Act 2020 and the revised rates for excise duty adjustment for inflation,” EPRA director general Daniel Kiptoo said.
The increase came despite lower global crude prices in August which averaged $70.75 a barrel, down from $75.17 in July, and a drop in the landed cost of fuel at the Port of Mombasa.
Consumers in the country pay at least nine different taxes on fuel products which constitute the biggest share of final pump prices.
They include excise duty which takes the lion's share of Sh21.95 of every litre of petrol followed by the Road Maintenance Levy (Sh18).
VAT has been adjusted upwards to Sh9.98 while the Petroleum Development levy is charged at Sh5.40.
Other levies included in the fuel pricing are Petroleum Regulatory Levy, Railway Development Levy, Anti-adulteration Levy, Merchant Shipping Levy and the Import Declaration Fee.
The high fuel prices are expected to increase the cost of living in the country, where inflation has been rising since April, hitting an 18-month high of 6.57 in August.
Manufacturers and transporters have since warned of a jump in the cost of goods and services as they move to pass the high operational costs, occasioned by the fuel price jump, to the consumers.
Agricultural products are also expected to become costlier as diesel is a key input in production, mainly in large scale farming where machinery is used.
A number of other taxes introduced by the Finance Act 2021 are also expected to impact the cost of production in the country, affecting the prices of finished goods in the retail market.
The Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) has since called on the President to request parliament to review the Finance Act.
“We need to ease the cost of living especially by dropping added taxes on cooking gas, fuel and essentials foodstuffs,” Secretary-General Stephen Mutoro said.
