These Kenyans - A Pain in the . . .

Of late Kenya has been featuring in the Tanzania Media (and all manner of stories told) in not too flattering a light.

The general opinion of Kenya and Kenyans carried by the man on the street in Tanzania has been greatly and immensely dented by the heavily opinionated press that is Tanzania’s watchdog.

Kenyans, in Tanzania speak, are a byword for armed robbers; illegal immigrants; conniving schemers (perpetrators of pyramid schemes and other such hair brained ideas); sticklers for diligence and industry on the job (the trump card they save for the opportune moment!); opportunists (who are out to wrench and wrest job opportunities from Tanzanians’ hands); possessors of a rude and uncouth disposition and a host many more.

This blog is out to bring to you what the Tanzania media says about Kenya (and Kenyans). It is also out to investigate the general feeling and opinion carried by Tanzanians on matters concerning Kenya and its citizens.
