Deputy Minister for Communications, Science and Technology, January Makamba, speaks during the launch of East African Cooperation survey report in Dar es Salaam yesterday.

Eight out of ten citizens (80%) think Tanzania should remain in the East African Community (EAC). In addition, nine out of ten (85%) approve (or strongly approve) of greater integration with Kenya and Uganda in particular.

Six out of ten citizens also support increased integration with Rwanda (62%) and Burundi (59%). These findings were released by Twaweza and the Society for International Development (SID) in a research brief titled Let's build one house! What Tanzanians think about the East African Community.

The brief is based on data from Sauti za Wananchi, Africa's first nationally representative high-frequency mobile phone survey that interviews households across Mainland Tanzania. Data were collected in August 2014. Aside from supporting integration, citizens broadly believe the impact of the East African Community will be positive.

The strongest vote of confidence is economic, twice as many citizens think that the EAC will have positive impact (42%) as compared to negative (20%) on the economy of the country. Similarly more citizens think the EAC will have a positive rather than negative impact on security (37% against 20%), politics (35% versus 25%) and culture (33% versus 24%).

Although citizens appear to be largely in favour of the East African Community and greater integration in the region at a conceptual level, the most interesting findings emerged when they were asked about specific proposals.

Their support is unequivocal. More than half of citizens approve of the following proposals A single tourist visa for the region (82% approve) Ability to travel across the region with a national identity card (82% approve) Joint infrastructure projects (78% approve) Free movement of labour (69% approve) A common passport (67% approve) Tax free trade (58% approve) A single currency (55% approve) The only proposals which received lukewarm support are the creation of a joint army (64% disapprove), freedom of land ownership (70% disapprove) and a unitary government with a single EAC parliament (71% disapprove).

ha ha ha...nimekumbuka prof wangu nchi fulani alivyokuwa anabonda mambo ya kupiga kura na kila kura kuwa na uzito sawa... sasa hatujui walioulizwa ni kina nani na wame base kwenye nini mpaka kuja na hiyo choice yao (au ndio yale ya tick hapo number 1)...tutofautishe na survey ya wananchi kama wa EU ambao wako well informed...

Kuna baadhi ya mambo yanaitaji maoni ya wataalamu zaidi ya demokrasia...
 
Tanzania ingekua imejaa watu kama hawa wa JF, ingeanguka zamani, lakini ni muhimu kujua kuna watu wenye akili zao ndio wengi ndani ya nchi. Maoni mengi haya ya humu JF huwa ya watu wa vijiweni na wengi huwa walala hoi wasio na uwezo wa kufikiri.
Tunapoingia Tanzania huwa tunakuta watu tofauti wenye uwezo na bidii ya kupiga nao deals na shughuli hapa na pale. Tofauti kabisa na goigoi waliojaa humu.
 
Hivii hizi takwimu watu wanatoa wapi???? watu watakuja kuingiza TZ kwenye Vita kwa sababu ya utashi wao na akili zao finyu....Mimi sitaki tz iwe kwenye hiyo EAC na watu wote ambao nimeshawai kuwaambia ..nao walisema the same thing....Kuweni makini na takwimu feki zitakuja kufikisha taifa pabaya...na hizo raha mlizonazo hamtazipata..taifa likiwa na machafuko...labda utafute nchi nyingine ya kuhamia (Mkimbizi) IAfrika

ofcoz majority of us tunataka greater intergration, the only issue wa tz tusichotaka ni political federation na issues kama land, tourist visa na work permit .... apart from that we are more than ok kupunguza barrier ktk business, common telephone charges, cross border movement, single currency you name em we are ok
 

Na ndio maana unaona sasa tuna integrations tofauti tofauti. Kwa mfano sisi Wakenya hatutaki political integration, lakini biashara tuifanye. Mtakarudi mezani na kuacha kununa, mtakuja na kile manataka kuungana nacho na sisi tutawakaribisha. Ila hatutabomoa tulicho nacho sasa hivi.
 
Bwana Bona tupe mfano au matatizo tutakayo yapata ndani ya jumuia maana sisi huku Gambosh Sumve area hatuelwi.
 

What is this Twaweza? I hope it is a Tanzanian thing. We don't to be accused of imposing things on Tanzanians.
 
Hii TWAWEZA ni ki NGO cha yule mhindi asijifahamu mwenye uraia wa makaratasi kama General Ulimwengu.Kwanza hiyo sample imechukuliwa DAR pekee yake tena nasikia ni makumbusho kwa waTanzania wasio na ufahamu wa mambo mengi kuhusu Intergration.Mfano mtu naunga mkono VISA moja hajui lolote kuhusu utalii wala hajawahi kutembelea mbuga yoyote ya wananyama.Hajui watalii wanatafutwa vipi,wanafikaje Tanzania,wanalipaje gharama za utalii na nk.Hajua Tanzania inapokea watalii wangapi ?hajui mpinzania wa Tanzania katika soko la utalii EA ni nani na kwanini sasa mtu wa jinsi hiyo anawezaje kuulizwa mambo ya VISA moja na akatolea ufafanuzi stahiki ?.TWAWEZA wangekuja Arusha wakauliza VISA moja Leopard tours,Simba Safari,Ranger Safari,Asilia Lodges & Camps,Safaris Legacy,Wildersun Safaris hawa ndio wadau wa utalii atleast wanajua A to Z ya utalii sio hao watu wa Mwananyamala na Mbagala sana sana wanajua shida ya usafiri Dar.

Wakuu wa hii NGO TWAWEZA wanatakiwa kufungiwa au kufungwa jela au kuchapwa viboko au vyote kwa pamoja kwa kuingilia mambo wasiyoyajua au kujaribu kupotosha hali halisi.
 

hata mimi nina wasiwasi na hawa watu, ufahamu wangu mfupi ni kuwa hawa watu kama huyo "twaweza" waliopita pita pita Harvard na kwingineko some of them huwa maajenti wa maslahi ya magharibi, mfano kama politicians kama huyo bw mdogo hapo pichani, nyalandu etc mambo yao yamekaa ki-US, US. let me guess hako ka research kamefanywa na kina pushmobile/six telecoms! Kwa maslahi ya magharibi EAC ya jumla jumla ni jambo zuri. Lakini kama taifa ushiriki wetu EAC una faida za baadhi tu ya mambo.
Utachukuaje sampuli ambayo wahusika wenyewe hawajui A wala B? Ushahidi usiopingika ni ule utafiti wa mara ya mwisho wa mzee wangwe kuhusu fast-tracking. Watanzania wengi walikuwa hata hawajui kuwa swali ni tujiunge lini, wao walijua ndio wanaulizwa tujiunge au la! Leo hii wanakuja hawa watu wamekaa ki-CIA wanasema sio tu watanzania wanajua na kutaka bali wanataka spidi iongezwe? watanzania gani hao wa masaki au?
Hakuna mtanzania ambaye anajua comparative advantage tuliyonayo atakubali muungano wa VISA, na mengineyo.
 
Chama cha Majanga kimefanya yao tena..cooking the data to push for their agenda of 'matumbo', Of koz with helping hand of a few good for nothing 'experts'..
