Although Tanzania’s export to Kenya began almost levelling up with Kenya’s exports to Tanzania, at the end of 2019, Kenya’s export to Tanzania was US$330 million and Tanzania’s export to Kenya was US$269 million. Trade began leveling up. Magufuli even went further to ban the Kenya Dairy and Kenya Airways and we all know the differences that came about.

With the Kiswahili that I learnt from that Commission, when we have a debate and I am still a Member of the Senate, I would be able to address the Senate in Kiswahili.
