President William Ruto received significant praise from Tanzanian leaders following his two-day official visit, during which he addressed the country\u2019s Parliament. Lawmakers, led by Speaker Musa Hassan, commended Ruto for enhancing bilateral relations and fostering regional cooperation between Kenya and Tanzania.<\/p>\n
Speaker Hassan noted that the Tanzanian legislature was honoured to host Ruto, describing the Kenyan leader as a visionary committed to unity and economic integration.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe commend his efforts to create opportunities and deepen East African integration. This reflects distinguished leadership,\u201d he told Parliament, emphasising that stronger regional ties are essential for sustainable development.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a clear demonstration of his exceptional leadership. Your visit has inspired us greatly and highlighted the importance of our collaboration for the development of the East African people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Water Minister Juma Aweso described both Ruto and President Samia Suluhu Hassan as results-driven leaders. He specifically praised Ruto\u2019s speech, highlighting his calls for expanded cooperation, unity, and integration.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur founding father, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, said that leadership is not a position; leadership is about results. The world today demands leaders who deliver outcomes. These (Ruto and Suluhu) are leaders of results,\u201d he stated, noting that closer collaboration would accelerate development projects and benefit citizens in both countries.<\/p>\n
Ikungi West MP Emmanuel Kingu remarked that Ruto\u2019s address revived the founding vision of East African unity. He urged the Kenyan leader to continue nurturing that relationship and convey goodwill from Tanzanians.<\/p>\n
\u201cKenyans did not make a mistake in electing him. We consider Kenyans our brothers,\u201d he said while openly declaring support for Ruto\u2019s reelection next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Ruto, you are favoured by God; do not be afraid. We Tanzanians take pride in your work and that of Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan. Because you have chosen to trust our president as your sister, we, the Tanzanian lawmakers, are praying for your success in the upcoming election,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Same East MP Anna Kilango highlighted the positive tone of the visit, calling President Ruto a good man. She noted that the Kenyan leader has exhibited rare leadership qualities and deserves praise, emphasising that Tanzania would benefit from working closely with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe message from President Ruto is one of goodwill and cooperation. We cannot achieve development without working together,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr President Ruto, we Tanzanians love Kenyans very much. Let me tell you the truth: I travel through Kenya often, and we have very good relations with our Kenyan counterparts. We have no complaints against them. If we truly want to achieve development in Kenya and Tanzania, we must cooperate,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Ruling Party CCM Chief Whip Prof. Palamagamba Kabudi called for renewed commitment to regional production and trade, urging East African countries to jointly manufacture and export goods under a unified regional identity. He highlighted the need for sustained cooperation, citing untapped economic opportunities, and encouraged Ruto to continue building bridges.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe time has now come to start producing goods and selling them outside East Africa as \u2018made in East Africa,’\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that Kenya and Tanzania are \u201cnot adversaries but partners\u201d bound by history and shared interests.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to join hands to make East Africa prosperous, strong, and united once again. We made terrible mistakes in 1967 that we must not repeat. We did so out of short-sightedness,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow it is time, as you have said in your speech, for all East Africans to be emboldened to work together. Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda will have a historical responsibility to advance East Africa and move forward united,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
