Uhuru had garnered 6,173,433 votes out of 12,330,028 total votes cast in the March 4 General Election against his closest rival Raila Odinga who managed 5,340,546 votes. Uhuru who had flown the Jubilee flag had managed to secure 50.07 per cent of the vote – a requisite for one to be declared winner of an election. The announcement brought jubilation to Uhuru supporters as well as those of William Samoei Ruto, his running mate, even as it brought sorrow and disappointment to Raila and Kalonzo Musyoka supporters. Raila and Kalonzo who were flying the Cord flag disputed the results and moved to the Supreme Court to contest the results. However, the six-judge bench of Supreme Court unanimously confirmed UhuRuto win, setting the stage for their inauguration on April 9. However, the story of both Uhuru and Ruto’s journey to victory had been long and tumultuous. Not that Uhuru and Ruto were strange bedfellows but they had faced similar obstacles that could have blocked them from ascending to power. In December 2010, Uhuru and Ruto, alongside former Minster Henry Kosgey, former Head of Civil Service Francis Muthaura, former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali and radio journalist Joshua arap Sang were named by ICC prosecutor as bearing the greatest responsibility for the 2007/8 post-election violence in which over 1,500 Kenyans were killed. But in what appears to be a blessing in disguise, the common predicament facing the duo (Uhuru and Ruto) became a glue that cemented their political alliance. The two, who hitherto were political enemies, devised a plot to use ICC cases to lobby support amongst their communities by alleging that The Hague-based court was being used by rivals who were kin to eliminate them from the Kibaki succession. The message seemed to have sunk well, with Central and Rift Valley becoming strongholds of the two leaders. Buoyed by the unprecedented support, Uhuru and Ruto began nationwide prayer rallies, which were largely used to bash the ICC and its local ‘ally’ and antagonist Raila Odinga.

Tanzania absent at launch of region’s single visa

NAIROBI, KENYA: Tanzania was not represented in a single visa deal that was jointly announced on Tuesday during the ongoing World Tourism Market meeting in United Kingdom
.Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda were repesented during the
deal which is set to come in force by January next year. Through the single travel document, member country states will adopt a joint Visa to facilitate free movement of tourist and citizens alike.
“Other EAC members will join us along the way since we have not locked any one out, said Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism Mrs. Phylis Kandie while responding to the press questions on the absence of Tanzania in the deal.
Tanzania is a competing country in Tourism and other economic pillars in the region. The country’s absence in key EAC meetings bringing together heads of states continues to raise eyebrows as per the regional intergration.
Tanzania’s minister for EAC Affairs, Samuel Sitta, recently told a charged Parliament in Dodoma that Dar es Salaam would not wait for a “divorce certificate” from Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, but would “shoot before we are shot”.

The minister spoke on the same day Presidents Uhuru, Kagame, Museveni and Kiir signed a host of protocols and agreements in Kigali, including free movement of goods and persons, infrastructural development and transformation into a Single Customs Union.

The pacts were signed on the sidelines of the three-day “Transform Africa Summit” to which Tanzania and Burundi, both EAC member states were not invited.
Speaking after announcing the launch of the joint visa, Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism Mrs. Phylis Kandie, Uganda’s Tourism and Wildlife Minister Ms Agnes Egunyo and Rwanda’s High Commissioner to UK Ambassador William Nkurunziza said deal was a major boost to tourism.
“We have been in discussion over this matter for the last six months and we are proud  to announce that we finally have a joint visa that has made the three countries borderless. This is an opportunity for us to increase tourist numbers as we will jointly offer diversified tourism products,” Says Kandie.
Tourism products from the three countries, pointed Kandie  are varied and with different tastes and noted that the single joint visa will now enrich diversity at the same time increasing the value of the product.
Rwanda High commissioner noted that the single joint visa was cost effective and will boost the strategy of repositioning tourism products in the region.
