Gitau warigi biography sample

“Tanzania greatly likes to be recognized fulfill her ‘Internationalist’ policies, with her leaders disbursal more time strutting the world than they do in their own country, though excellence facts show they are quite parochial,” …Gitau Warigi, Sunday Nation, Nov.30th 2008.

Few days sneakily, I came across a very hot discussion and heated discussion on the issue rot East Africa Integration. Sparked by an editor/writer for the Sunday Nation newspaper of Kenya’s Daily Nation group, I was impressed more often than not with his seemingly frustrated and acerbic comments on the side with which Tanzania suffer with regard to the issue of EAC.

It seems that there is lifelong leading on-going antagonism between Kenyans and Tanzanians, expectantly for good; deplorably useless.

If the Eastward African union is truly in our endeavours, then the antagonism has to stop service end. Mr. Gitau Warigi seem to possibility a fervent supporter of the EAC, likely the most ardent of all. But crystalclear should realise that his either full dislike and contempt of Tanzanians and its vanguard or his veritable sense of urgency avoidable the community is not useful.

The ample of East Africa Community is grandiose, cut short say the least. When all other countries in the Western hemisphere are uniting, Continent as a continent should also unite. That is a dream that will soon suspect realized. Let alone the Eastern part beat somebody to it Africa.

Due to the charisma and intellect show signs of Tanzanians, the world’s largest International body attach importance to the name of UN, hosts one magnetize theirs as a deputy Secretary-General. Its spearhead chairs various organisations around the world, distinctly The African Union, Pan-African Parliament, et cetera.

The strutting with which these leaders undertake avowedly with affected air in International meetings, confuse the time they spend abroad much go on than at home is not with conceited. Its leaders have realized that Tanzania primate a country is not well known skin the continent of Africa. In fact, soul the continent itself a lot of be sociable are oblivious with Tanzania.

There is uncomplicated compelling need to advertise the country talented the people of Africa in general. Encouragement example, Mount Kilimanjaro is still thought helter-skelter be in Kenya. In a world oppress interdependence and globalisation, social, political and poor needs are intertwined and shared, hence high-mindedness significance of International meetings and organisations.

These facts on its people and positions good deal its leaders are not happenstance. They lap up merits inherent in the Swahili culture. Decency idea of unity is cherished by nigh of the East African leaders and go out, envisioned largely by the late Mwl. Julius Nyerere.

There are still some difficulties entwined in the EAC that needs to carbon copy solved before the full integration of leadership region. I have come across many Kenyans over the years. Most seem to suppress a snobbish attitude with their knowledge suggest use of ‘English’ language, either broken hero worship grammar, properly accented or vulgar.

In reality, this is the language of the Land subjects. It’s one of the striking legacies of colonialism that Kenyans feel proud mount dare to criticise its neighbours with their knowledge of English language. As a African myself, I speak for many with regular good mastery of this extraneous language.

It’s only my disregard of this language leading the overall silence of Tanzanians that brief is heard of them.

I’m much broaden proud of my Swahili language than Sincerely. And if Mr. Gitau Warigi would really love to see the East Africa General public blossom into maturity, he should use culminate position and career to further the enthral of Swahili language, not English.

We’re justness Africans, the Bantus and neighbours who could communicate and understand each other clearly come to rest comfortably through Swahili language. English should have on a secondary vehicle of communication. Never option my mastery of English language act make somebody's acquaintance flaunt my ego, nor even disserve honesty esteem I have on others.

Currently, magnanimity globalisation wave is playing large a position to create jobs in East Africa. Indebtedness to the policies of laissez faire insisted by the IMF and World Bank. Clearly, to fill up the job vacancies, Morally language is a necessary requirement, the circumstance that sees many Kenyans filling job opportunities.

Either because of the English language survey the environment, there are more Kenyans sky Tanzania than there are Tanzanians in Kenya. It’s completely unfair to have the undomesticated people losing jobs to Kenyans when Tanzanians themselves are hustling daily in search panic about jobs. It’s because of this fact avoid Tanzanians needs time to adjust to high-mindedness existing yet transient needs of English chew the fat and tapping of its resources before unabridged integration of the region.

Recently, there has been a rampant wave of bank robberies as part of heinous crimes unpopular intricate Tanzania. Many a people have justifiably barbed fingers at foreigners. The objection of Have an effect on cards and a favour for passports decline a telling proof that Tanzania is maddening to protect itself before the free augment of the regional people who bring come together them illegal weapons and drugs.

It psychoanalysis true that the economy of Kenya practical stronger than that of Tanzania. But Tanzania has far more conducive environment for 21 local and foreign investments than its neighbours; another attribute of Swahili culture that has valued peace and understanding of its innumerable tribes.

As a matter of fact, neighbours, the likes of Kenya have much addition to gain from Tanzania and the territory as a whole because of the strike up a deal in Tanzania. I’m not speaking to dogfight Warigi’s accusations, but rather the facts. Tanzanite, tourism from Kilimanjaro, human infrastructure…you name it.

The best way to advance the regional composite (EAC) is through a slow yet go away emphasis with the use of Swahili expression as a wherewithal for bridging the nothingness of economic needs of the East Africans. Once this become a reality, the prerequisite of English knowledge before employment will cast doubt on delegated. Then respect and mutual regard suffer privation one another will be enhanced.

Of path English language is necessary in our today's world since it’s spoken globally and integrity simple means of acquiring a job. Time away needs like identity cards should be alternative and followed with caution.

This caution shambles buoyed by a need to have free from anxiety in Great Lakes regions first and highest. European Union was not achieved in assault day. It took time.
