He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- It was understood that the audience the minister spoke to came from Southern Africa and, needless to say, being the politician that he is, he played to the expectations of those present but in the process ruffled feathers once again across the East African region, where anything pro-South and anti-East has shrill alarm bells ringing, nationally and within the EAC headquarters, where integration and cooperation are the catch phrases and not “sneaking out the back door.
- He went on to cite lack of connections to, for instance, Namibia or Angola from Tanzania, displaying a remarkable lack of understanding of airline reality and in the process also giving cause for concern to the East African neighbors of Tanzania.
- “Law suits are brought against Precision to stop their plans of launching an ISP on the Dar stock exchange, and instead of supporting Precision as a national airline of Tanzania, our government in Dar continues to talk about reviving Air Tanzania.
