It is no doubt that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Tanzanian counterpart, John Magufuli, are not best of friends. In fact, Uhuru never congratulated Magufuli immediately after his election as President of Tanzania but only attended his inauguration for the sake of it.
Magufuli, who is causing ripples across the world with his unmatched kind of leadership, indicated that he will ban Uhuru’s Brookside milk in Tanzania, accusing the Kenyan company of exploiting his poor Tanzanians with its spurious business practices.
However, that is not why Uhuru’s people are worried about Magufuli and never liked him from the word go. The men around the President are worried that the Tanzanian President, who is former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s buddy, could be planning something against him.
In fact, a source intimated that Uhuru’s State House is in panic mode over what Magufuli said about Raila Odinga recently.
Magufuli believes that Raila is the best President Kenya is yet to have and would transform the country if given a chance.
These is exactly what he said that is driving Uhuru and his echelons crazy;-
“Raila Odinga and I have shared similar dreams for our nations but my time came ahead of him. Am a replica of what he intends for Kenya.”
As a Minister for roads in 2003/ 2004, he transformed the country's infrastructural status and also put together many plans before being sacked.
“When I became the Minister for roads, I consulted widely with him. This helped me do a good job, hence my people trusted me with the top seat. The reason I attended his endorsement in 2013 is because I believe he has the best dreams for Kenya. I trust his dreams and potential,” said Magufuli.
