WHILE KENYA WILL SOON BE CRYING, THANKS TO MAGUFULI, TANZANIA WILL BE LAUGHING

 

Kenyan government stepped in the dragon's trap to end up messing it a great deal. China is now on its throat after extending to it some monies to construct the Standard Gauge Railway. Tanzania is now boasting of constructing the same using its own money but not cheap and quick loans as was the case in Kenya.  Tanzania would have been in a bigger mess than Kenya and Ethiopia, two countries that constructed the SGR if its president were not cautious and visionary. However, the pain would have come from a different project, the Bagamoyo Port project that was touted to be the biggest in Africa. After studying the project, president John Pombe Magufuli suspended it and thereby saved Tanzania from the twangs of the dragon. As I am writing, Kenya is grappling with the debt to China so as to adversely affect its economy CLICK HERE. As for Tanzania, if Magufuli did not suspend the project, thus, saving tanzania the burden of swallowing a bite at the tune of $10 billion, we would be talking about a very different mayday situation as far as its economy is concerned CLICK HERE. Those who are prone of condemning Magufuli, should consider this before sharpening their tongues.
