Kabisa... Cabotage restrictions were another gray area. Restricting daladala operators to Tanzanians only is a great policy, but it doesn't answer the question for an innovator raising funds from outside: Is it considered just an investor or an owner if they're not involved in operations?

@mBongo @KennedyMmari @tickettanzania It is safe to say the Tanzanian transport industry is too centralized ( Control by Latra) for investors to come up with differentiation services/products.

The genesis of @TicketTanzania was to solve some of these logistical challenges. BUT After applications & follow-up consultations with SUMATRA, the business plan started falling apart because: -Fares were fixed -"Protectionism" for new buses on a route -No premium class like long-distance ones. We focused on events for a start. With the new e-ticketing requirements for daladalas, if someone is going to crack the code, then @KennedyMmari & team have what it takes.

@mBongo @KennedyMmari I'm curious kujua pia. I had that idea 2024, lakini kabla sijaandika line of code, nikafanya a forensic research. Taa zote zilikuwa nyekundu. Nafuu ilikuwa kumiliki magari zangu mwenyewe. Kigingi kingine kikaja kwenye majibu ya maswali yako. Nikahachana nayo.

Why does our society has a stigma towards single-mother's child? Same applies to single-father's child? Mtoto anachaguo gani kwa Mzazi/Wazazi ? #TunakoseaHapa

@MichaelMwebe @KennedyMmari If you actually do the math, it’s at most 55% of $5m for $9.5m from @NSE_PLC valuation. & could be higher since the actual number is not disclosed. Reducing this transaction to a real estate deal proves what Kenyans think Tanzanian commenters are! I rest my case 🙏🏾

@mBongo @KennedyMmari An open question that invites you to share more details. $5m at $9.m. There is a reason you have been told there are assets that are currently undervalued in the company. Even investors confidence has spiked for a reason, NMG price share imepanda.

@MichaelMwebe @KennedyMmari Argumentum ad ignorantiam kusema "Sijui hio tenant agreement umeiona wapi" → "You can't show me the private contract document = no such agreement/landlord-tenant relationship exists." Property @ $5m buying 92.6m shares for ~USD 9.5m to take 54.08% stake ni bei ya kutupa?

@mBongo @KennedyMmari Sijui hio tenant agreement umeiona wapi but going by this property figures hapa tunaongelea at least $5m worth. Na amesema he wants to go more digital means cutting lots of costs that will allow more space in NMG buildings to engage in estate businesses like renting.

@MichaelMwebe @KennedyMmari I agree; -Roastam is no fool -Influence ya media inapungua -Anaona vitu sivioni. Now, educate us; If NMG is a tenant of PDM with 20% stake at NC, which Majengo & Ardhi kwa bei ya kutupa?

@mBongo @KennedyMmari Rostam is no fool aweke mzigo mkubwa kwenye legacy media ambayo tunakiri influence yake inapungua. Anaona angles nyingi ambazo mimi, wewe na wasomi wetu hatuzioni au tunachukua muda kuzing'amua.

@KennedyMmari Nakubaliana execution na scale ni muhimu sana copying is a valid strategy. Lakini weakness kubwa ni kwamba tunakosa frameworks to commercialization ideas mpya, Weak IP protection ->innovators waogopa ku-invest time & pesa kwenye R&D wakijua ita-copy-wa tu bila punishment.

@KennedyMmari Bellamy anauliza specifically kwa nini wajasiriamali wetu wengi wanakopi & not innovating. Kutuambia "kila mtu duniani anakopi" ni kweli, lakini haielezei pattern yetu nyumbani au kwa nini hatupandi ngazi hadi kuOwn IP kama wengine waliianza na copy (🇨🇳,🇰🇷) & now?
