Mutahi Ngunyi
Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi is one of the Kenyans who took issue with President Magufuli skipping such an important conference given the fact that Tanzania has one of the largest marine economies in the region.
“WAPI Pombe ? Is Tanzania NOT the LARGEST Blue Economy in Eastern Africa? Why is HE ABSENT from this CONFERENCE? We NEED to SMOKE this man out of his Magufuli HOLE! ,” Ngunyi wrote.
Other Kenyans followed suit, some speculating that the frosty diplomatic relations between Tanzania and Kenya may explain Magufuli’s decision to skip the conference that is jointly hosted by Kenya, Japan, and Canada.

“Unfortunately, he thinks TZ is self-sufficient and doesn’t need the neighbors. Wrong approach Bwana President . You Need Kenya more than we need you,” David Ng’ang’a said.
