Are you sure of the Tz one? Last I checked they were way way behind, na mbali sana.
TZ figure might be correct. Last estimates in October 2013 had them projecting a $12.39 billion budget (circa Ksh1 trillion). Seems the figure was adjusted upwards.

lol! Having interacted with many, the only East Africans that appear potentially sharp are the South Sudanese..... Gai what am I saying?
Seem's that "coutryman drink" didn't kill you as you are still drinking it. Tanzanians and Ugandans are farely sharp and compare well with Kenyans. The difference is that Kenyans have grown up in a country whose limited resources has driven its people to be hyper competitive.
1.4T budget for Tz however does sound quite high.

Forget all those nonsense about oh political leadership... oh... sijui what!! kwanza hiyo mambo ya access to a port is everything. it determines the economies of states in the US within the US (http://www.bea.gov/scb/pdf/2011/07%20July/0711_gdp-state.pdf). Minerals and other natural raw materials also boost a country's GDP regardless of leadership.
I beg to differ. its all about the GDP,the actual wealth a country generates with its industries. You might be very tiny geographically n have no direct access to the port but have a huge output n hence a humongous budget.
yes but years of stability affect that as well. not new countries like these ones of ours. On TZ it's a conundrum why they are not ahead of kenya. perhaps it's because the majority of our population is within 100kms of the railway? TZ's population is well distributed.

TZ guys are way relaxed n Kenyans are quite the opposite, entrepreneurial n I think that's why these guys are scared of the EA integration coz Kenyans will take over all the businesses while they're chillaxing.anyway that's just my opinion
