It is disappointing to note that the media promote this as a 'war' between the two neighbours when all that there is to this issue is that Kenya is now implementing an agreement signed in 1985 but which she never really did on the ground whilst Tanzania did! The Tanzania Tour Operators had it good for all these years and, my opinion is that some of them did not ever think Kenya would, at any time implement this agreement and, hence, are now screaming foul! The solution is to embrace the EAC cooperation to its fullest so that every member enjoys all the benefits enshrined in this noble arrangement. There must be mutual trust and respect for each other whilst shunning the selfish attitudes of a few interested stakeholders who will always be aggrieved at the slightest thought of competition!
