That's why you have debt 52.6% of GDP( est 2017).
Kenya has poverty line of 43.4% while Tanzania 22.8%. Unemployment rate of 40% while Tanzania has 10.3% . My source Indexmundi

Continue deceiving yourself, we're talking of 2019 ,figures, truth hurts a lot.

tylann:

Sgr
Rural electrification programme
Free maternity for women
Construction of roads
Jkia upgrading
Huduma centres which has bring govt services close to kenyans etc

That is good, and i hope you are not expecting me to compare with Magufulis construction of new Airports and expansion of old ones in Mbeya, Dodoma, Kigoma, Tabora, Shinyanga and Mtwara. Expansion of ports in Kigoma and Expansionof Dar port and 5-Construction of Stigler gorge Hydroelectric power Dam 2115 MW, since they are two different countries with different needs? Alright. Now how much have Kenya indebted itself within the years since Uhuru came into power? Weren’t we all reading just some weeks ago of Uhuru going to China to beg for loan so they can finish the SGR and indebt kenya even more? It wasn’t enough being close to lose the Mombasa port? Tanzania is financing its own railway system.

In 2016, according to Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and National Treasury reports, it was estimated that a third of the national budget was lost through corrupt dealings annually. Kenya loses approximately 1 trillion shillings to corruption every year.

Dont make the mistake that i wish kenya illdeads i don’t, a strong kenya is a strong eastern africa and africa overall, but i also see the reality in things which is that Magufuli is a far better president than Uhuru Kenyatta, and actually uses his brain.

And thankfully Tanzania had a high IQ president(leader) who cares for his countries develpment, more than i can say for african the rest of african rulers(not leaders).

The poverty capital of East Africa and the slowest growing economy in the region? I think NOT!!

gallivant:


Fixed.

Because Africa would prosper with kenya tribalism and corruption and corrupt rulers who will sell kenya to the first bidder. I wasn’t surprised that the kenya was infront of the lgbtq movement in Africa, kenya is where all corrupt deads start and then transported to the rest of africa. All those thousand western NGOs doing gods knows what to docile kenyans. Low IQ kenyans are even taking vaccines from NGOs for which they don’t even need which is why there was news about kenyan women being given vaccines which sterilized them, there is a war against africas population growth and you are blindly accepting whatever your enemies gives you while your IQ is too low and you think they are there to help you.

I don't understand. So the Kenyan government sanctions this kind of slavery of its citizens in Arab countries and you open your mouth to admit such nonsense? I give up on you.

I asked you about the Saudi royal homo who killed his Naij servant (f'boy) in London 2010. He beat him to death in a hotel lift. I'm told most Naijjan males working for ME Royalty are in a similar situation.
Pls answer this before squealing about imaginary slavery of Kenyans. FYI,I've been told Saudi cops respect us for our Brain and work ethic unlike some Naijjans infamous for 'hard work'.

Why Tanzania is not overtaking Kenya anytime soon.

This report was published in 2016 when jealous Tanzanians began melodizing that they'll overtake Kenya economically and now we're in 2019, you're no longer close to Kenya in any ramification.

Kenya 2019 GDP $99 billion
Tanzania 2019 GDP $60 billion

Continue composing new melodies dreaming that you'll overtake Kenya.
Our main peers in east Africa is Ethiopia only!

Tanzania continue directing your long term hatred towards Kenya.

Meanwhile have a look at this article.

Kenyans are being treated to a season of gloom and doom because Kenya is supposedly about to be eclipsed as the region’s dominant economy by Tanzania. Kenyans have “authoritatively” been informed by expert economic analysts that Tanzania is the new king of East Africa, and Kenya has lost out big time.

What is behind this invitation to Kenyans to beat themselves? The first is the decision by Uganda to “abandon” its deal with Kenya to build a joint pipeline to the Port of Lamu in favour of one with Tanzania. The second is the decision by Rwanda to “abandon” Kenya’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR)

in favour of the one proposed by Tanzania. Never mind that not even one kilometer of track or pipeline has been laid, or even one dollar of the necessary finance been mobilized for both projects.

The truth is that when you compare Tanzania’s economy to Kenya, it’s almost laughable that anybody can actually state that it can supplant Kenya’s dominance in this region. This is just self-serving analysis meant to push a given political narrative.

What are the facts about these two economies? Tanzania’s 2016 budget of $ 13.5 billion (Sh1.35 trillion) pales beside Kenya’s budget of $ 22.6 billion (Sh 2.26 trillion), almost double in size.

Further, the size of Tanzania’s economy, measured through its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), at $ 48 billion, is almost 25 per cent smaller than Kenya’s at $ 61 billion. These gaps have only grown in the last decade, and nothing suggests they will be narrowing anytime soon.

Tanzania’s key port of Dar es Salaam has been declared much more inefficient than the Port of Mombasa, over control movement of labour, capital and other factors of production. No wonder there’s a huge skills gap in that economy.

Tanzania has a mountain to climb. The turmoil that Kenya underwent as it liberalized and reformed its economy in the 90s is something that Tanzania must go through to become a modern economy. By the time Tanzania is through, Kenya will be eons away. Tanzania’s first shock when it starts liberalizing will be capital flight as Tanzania’s elite move huge amounts of dollars abroad, and a massive depreciation of its currency as it finds its own market level amid a huge dollar outflow.

Nairobi remains the financial and and above clearing much less cargo for the region’s landlocked countries, principally the tiny economies of Rwanda and Burundi. In fact, the World Bank estimates that the Tanzanian economy could gain over Sh8 billion annually if the Dar Port was as efficient as the Port of Mombasa. For the longest time, Kenyans were told by the selfsame experts that Dar es Salaam would soon supplant Mombasa as the key port in this region. Again, it looks like it is not going to happen anytime soon.

Those experts then “abandoned” Dar and latched onto the Port of Bagamoyo where Tanzania had planned a mega port. Kenyans were told that Bagamoyo will put Mombasa in the shade, never mind that then not a single stone had been laid, nor was there a highway to link the port with its landlocked neighbours to facilitate the proposed new corridor to supposedly compete with Mombasa and the Northern corridor.

The truth is that $ 10 billion Bagamoyo Port was a white elephant, and the Tanzanian government has abandoned it as unviable, and will instead concentrate on refurbishing and expanding the Port of Dar.

It would have to be a hopeless optimist who would proclaim that the Northern corridor anchored on the Port of Mombasa is about to lose to a rudimentary corridor anchored on a port that is much more inefficient and is way behind in modernization and expansion.

The scenario is similar with Tanzania’s standard Gauge Railway linking Tanzania and Rwanda. While Kenya’s SGR is rapidly snaking its way across the Nyika, Tanzania’s is still on the drawing boards.

Tanzania’s economy is still living in the past , and remains globally uncompetitive. Successive Tanzanian governments have lived in a Utopia where they think they can forever shield their economy from competition. So, they commercial flight hub for the entire Eastern and Central Africa. The financial and ICT infrastructure the country has built over decades is among the most advanced anywhere in the continent. That’s why leading global brands like Google, General Electric, Huawei, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Diageo, Toyota, AVIC International and Visa Inc have made Kenya either their regional or continental headquarters. It will take a huge flight of fantasy to imagine companies like IBM or Pfizer relocating from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam.

It might be the politically correct narrative to talk up Tanzania as the new kid on the block set to put Kenya in its place. The truth, however, is that Tanzania is really a backwater economy that is yet to begin the hard, backbreaking and nerve wracking work of reforming its economy to become competitive even by regional standards. Rwanda has done a much better job of it.

Do u think I don't know where u copied that foolish article?

Just make it short.then answer me...

Why is Kenya starving? Why can't u feed ourselves first before u start talking and copying articles?

Africa is poor because countries like tanzania are underperforming

Africans are laughed at because countries like Kenya are starving to death in 2019!

And you africans with low IQ think that africa can achieve high living standard without a strong military or economic power to protect that high living standard... You don't learn, africans are the only people who don't learn from history while everyone else do, its all due to low IQ. As i keep saying remove black africans from africa and watch it boom, hell even give africa to the people in north africa and they will make it prosper, just as long as they are not black africans. Black africans make africa the dark continent with their low IQ.

You're so thick, high living standards is achieved by how the economic wealth is evenly spread in a country or rather income per head, purchasing power parity and levels of life expectancy.
Take for instance Equatorial Guinea which has the highest GDP per capita in Africa yet it's not even among the African countries with strong military and economy, this clearly depicts citizens of Equatorial Guinea are enjoying a higher standards of living than other Africans, the amount of resources it has is directly proportionate to its less population, so can you say that Equatorial Guinea has a high living standards due to its military strength?
This is silly reasoning.

The main reason why Africa is still sprouting slowly in terms of development is due to BAD LEADERSHIP AND CORRUPTION cause if you claim it to be Low IQ then why are some South American countries like Guyana, Peru, Ecuador
still poor like church mouse just like some African nations?
Africa has the most productive young population in the world, youths are the future of the continent.Human resources we have it at best with continent's frontier markets taking the mantle.
Africa too is the fastest growing continent in the world now that we're yet to establish our potentials as most foreign investors are setting their foot in Africa to take advantage of the untapped opportunities, so what the hell are you talking about with your low IQ issues?
By the way, Tanzania is among the least corrupt African nations but it's stupidly backward when compared to Kenya, you'd wonder what's wrong with Tanzania.

You're the one showing us how low your IQ is.

It's foolish according to your dumb brain cause its paining with bitter truths, am in Kenya and currently there's no any case related to starvation.
By the way starvation in Kenya is usually ravaged by harsh climatic changes but now thank God we're on a rainy season.The place where currently am has been having a bumper harvest of food since time immemorial till some have been rotting in the store and silos.

At least Kenyans don't hide their problems unlike the jealous Tanzanians.

Can hunger go away by simply organizing a walk around Nairobi?

Nobody is starving in Kenya

Now that my problem with , you are a bloody hypocrite who likes to deny his problem. You are starving and I don't care , but if don't want us to talk about it then instruct that brother of your (rvp) to shut is vagabond mouth up.
