AmoH 🇰🇪 retweetledi
A continuation of Ruto's disastrous foreign policy and geopolitical ignorance played out in rather embarrassing circumstances last evening in Tanzania.
The Tanzanian president, Samia Suluhu, openly castigated Ruto, in a conference of several hundred multinationals, for having announced an upcoming construction of a massive oil refinery in Tanga, Tanzania, an announcement which the Tanzanian president also saw on TV like all of us!
Kenya has a full High Commission in Dar es Salaam and a Consulate in Arusha, on top of tonnes of diplomats attached to both the EAC Secretariat and EALA.
But shockingly, Ruto invited Museveni and Dangote to Nairobi to announce a project of that magnitude, in a neighbouring country (and Tanzania is not only the proposed host of the refinery, but is one of the regional nations supposed to be paying for its construction!) without telling the country where the project is set to stand!
That kind of madness is special.
And do you know what he said in answer to Suluhu?
"Ningejua hivyo ningesema Mombasa, not Tanga!"
The guy thinks he is running a personal kiosk, even with regional matters.
Next time on the ballot, try and elect someone who knows something about statecraft.
