We kweli kenge kabisa mmesahau fitina na propaganda zenu mnazoeneza kuhusu Tanzania ni hivi karibu mmezuia magari ya Tanzania kuingia airport ili tu watalii wasije Tanzania mmeshindwa kuwakamata Al shabab wanawapiga kila siku mtaiweza Tanzania.
Kitu huelewe uliza au nyamaza kimya. Kenya wanatekeleza makubaliano na Tanzania ya mwaka 1985. Kenya kuruhusu magari ya Tanzania JKIA ilikuwa ujirani mwema/fadhila.Soma habari hii gazeti la the Standard la leo......Kenya has given Tanzania a two-week
ultimatum to review the bilateral
agreement that will allow the latters
tourism vans to access the Jomo
Kenyatta International Airport in the
latest spat between the two East
African countries.
Failure to agree, both countries will
resort to the 1985 bilateral agreement
that stipulates how tourism vans
access each countrys market. Kenya
will continue to bar the vans from
accessing JKIA as stipulated in the
agreement. The row has elicited
mistrust, suspicion and delicate
relationship between the two countries
in an already sour relation between the
two East African Community
neighbours and trade partners.
Kenya and her neighbour signed a
bilateral agreement in 1985 that barred
both Kenyan and Tanzanian tourist
vans from accessing game parks and
international airports. While Tanzania
implemented fully, Kenya partially
relaxed the rules to allow Tanzanian
vans to access her international
airports.
The agreement provides that tourist
vans from Kenya drop passengers at
the border posts at Lunga Lunga,
Taveta, Namanga and Nyakiyakaye on
the Kenyan side and Tanzanian vans
drop at Horohoro, Himo, Namanga and
Sirare.
Further, Kenyan tourist vans are
allowed to transport tourists to the
regional towns of Tanga, Moshi, Arusha
and Musoma while Kenya gives access
to all towns. The agreement does not
provide for entry into partner States
airports, game reserves and parks
which has been the main bone of
contention.
This inconveniences Kenyan tour
operators clients who have to switch
vans if they want to cross the Mara
River and view Tanzanian game
animals. However, when Kenya decided
to fully implement the agreement,
Tanzania came out with guns blazing
accusing Kenya of being the bad
brother. This prompted Tanzanias
Tourism Minister Lazaro Nyalandu to fly
in to meet his Kenyan counterpart.
