The opposition had raised fears that a tripartite alliance between Mr Kagame, Kenya’s Uhuru Kenyatta and President Museveni – manifested in their deal-rich joint meeting in Kampala followed by the launch on Wednesday of the largest berth in Mombasa - showed Tanzania was likely being side-lined on lucrative infrastructure investments on Rwanda prodding.

Rwanda was likely having an upper hand in diplomatic offensive following the strained relations, Mr Mbowe said, before asking how the Tanzanian government planned to address the problem. Rwanda’s Foreign Affairs Minister Louis Mushikiwabo did not receive our telephone to respond to Dar es Salaam’s overtures.

Earlier, the Tanzanian PM rejected the notion had culminated in his country being marginalised by East African Community bloc members.

Latest regional deals have been signed behind the back of both Tanzania and Burundi, and President Museveni told journalists after a June 25 meeting in Entebbe with presidents Kenyatta and Kagame that there was no harm in making decisions and briefing other peers later.

Tz has natural resources, Kenya has human resources. Tz is most stable politically in the region. The monolithic CCM will rule for the next century. Kenya is politically unpredictable, NARC, PNU, TNA.

Invest in Tz and import Kenyan skilled labour!

UP UP UP....like it or not...there is a difference between me coming to u & say I will build you the biggest port in the region than you coming to me...begging for biz...who has bargaining power? My next investment is in Tz...a pal is starting an agribiz there.. he is in NY right now...raising capital...I have been to Dar before & all I saw is potential...humble folks...curious to know...not the know it all attitude & inflated egos I see in Kenya....my track record speaks for itself...well its not like i hate Kenya...i have lived here for sometime & i like it here but the attitudes...the egos...the tribalism...this tyranny of numbers crap gotta stop if Kenya was to take a leap...for now its Tz...

until they stop thinking in Swahili then they we can debate about whether or not they are going up.......as for now they are playing CATCH-UP. Remember our GDP nominal is bigger by more 10b USD and growing...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29

dont even get me started on per capita GDP. Yes i know the numbers (low GDP per capita) are nothing to be proud of, but fact is with all those minerals, bigger land mass, bigger population they are still doing very poorly.
