By Special Correspondent, DAR ES SALAAM A FISH trader Amir Aman tells Al Jazeera in Dar es Salaam, three decades are passed before he meets the most sympathetic President with a soft eye to commoners in Tanzania as President Magufuli does. Solidarity Forever as President Magufuli ends pension formula woes Al Jazeera reporter, Catherine Soi, concludes: “President John Pombe Magufuli is widely accepted as a symbol of decisiveness and integrity in Tanzania and probably in Africa.” Before her report is archived, President Magufuli takes the seat of the workers, the work that would be done by a trade union, and decides in favour of a Tanzanian worker.   When reporters do their search well, they are mistaken for prophets. In an emotional speech delivered by Tanzanian President Dr. Magufuli, perhaps the most rated in 2018, these words find deep meaning. He makes an historic decision in favour of Tanzania workers amid cheers and ululations.   He touched their hearts a

By Masondore Masinde, Montreal , 20-12-2018:  REBIRTH of the new Africa we waited for so long is looming. The Africa that no longer entrusts its future in the hands of others but in own hands. Tanzania’s President John Pombe Magufuli is on record to pioneer this millennial achievement. This has been a “wanted” attitude in transforming Africa. “Initially, funds for the construction of this road was expected to be provided by our development partners in futile. We realized that the project delayed because of the donor’s attached conditions. We reasoned, for a sovereign state which is accountable, development projects cannot be delayed by aid. In fact, a poor man’s capital is his strength,” said President Magufuli when inaugurating an eight lane road from Dar es Salaam to the Coast region. It is the lack of this realization, that a poor man’s capital is his strength, that has made Africa become the only dependent continent on earth. Now, Tanzania’s President has answers

By Too Jared 9 hours ago Rayvanny and Diamond [Photo: Courtesy] The music war between Kenya and Tanzania as to who has clout in the industry has officially been won by President John Pombe Magufuli’s crop of talent. This is according to a report by Research 8020. Tanzania has two artists ( Diamond Platnumz and Harmonize ) in the top 10 who hold an enviable rating of Platinum having attained 100 million views and above online. Kenya has zero. In the Tanzanian list, Diamond leads the pack with his song Nana, catapulting him ahead of Wasafi label mate Harmonize who is hot on his heels with Kwangwaru. Third with a Gold rating (10-99 million views) is another Wasafi bigwig Rayvanny with his hit Kwetu before Bongo Flava heavyweight Ali Kiba vrooms into the fourth place with Mwana. Fifth and sixth places are firmly held by former Yamoto Band members Aslay ( Mhudumu ) and Mbosso ( Jibebe ). The band still rolls in on number seven with their song Nitakupwelep

 Posted on: 19th Dec 2018 A section of the Mombasa Port (PHOTO: FILE) NAIROBI, KENYA: Kenya risks losing the port of Mombasa to China's Exim Bank should the government default on paying loans. A letter by Auditor General to Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) reveals that port's assets were charged as security to secure loans but KPA did not disclose this guarantee in the financial statements. Edward Ouko's office says that KPA assets are exposed since the Authority signed agreement where it has been referred to as borrower under clause 17.5 of the loan agreement and any proceedings against its assets by the lender would  not  be protected by sovereign immunity. "The agreement is biased since any non-performance or dispute with the China Exim bank would be referred to arbitration in China, whose fairness in resolving the disagreement may not be guaranteed," reads the auditor's letter signed by F.T Kimani for the Auditor General.
