Tanzanians admire Kenya dearly the same way South Sudanese and Ethipiopians do

Apparently, TZ still lives in poverty and extreme cost of living. The countryside of TZ resembles Kenya during the 1970s and 1980s. Nyamba za Nyazi and matope all over

Kenya is quite ahead in economy, democracy, human rights & political freedoms. Ruto is 5th president and the 3rd to be democratically elected - although he acts like he is the first . If Kenya sticks the path of entrenched rule of law, peaceful elections and consistent development you will go far. These good practices have occurred because of periodic change in leadership which avoids Jomo or Moi kind of corruption, incompetence and tribalism.

Don't take it for granted.

Meanwhile Tanzania continues to backslide. I always knew Suluhu is another dimwit unable to win the popular vote or even play PR with democracy. CCM fancies itself a Chinese CCP but is too incompetent to deliver for Tanzania.

Kenya really has no competitor in the entire Eastern Africa.

Let’s start comparing ourselves with other failures to boost our ego.

This is a fair comparison: Kenya is an East African country. I think we can catch up with SA, Egypt and Nigeria if we stick to the path: rule of law, sound economic planning, etc. We can be wishful and compare with Turkey or Thailand -- but you need 10X growth for that -- sadly even Ukraine at war is more productive than entire Africa.
