    Take the time to note how inaccessible the Kenyan government was as compared to how accessible Nyerere was.Also note that Nyerere contributed a lot to the liberation struggle in Southern African nations while Kenyatta offered lip service. While both economic systems had their shortcomings, Nyerere forged a nation while Kenya's economy is disintegrating due to the effects of a culture of individualism. While Kenyans pride themselves in being better educated, things like English and skills are easier to learn than Nationalism. Tanzania is poised to be the hub of the region. Kenya, short of a serious collective mental overhaul, is fucked.

      albonyo if there’s one thing Kenya doesn’t have it’s a culture of individualism, Kenyans have a dependency mentality where people think that the only way they’ll prosper is by electing a messiah like politician not by their own hard work, that’s why they elect politicians who want to do everything for the people. They create more state corporations, create more govt positions and you end up with a large government where half the budget goes to salaries and very little money goes to development. For instance Nairobi; only 6% of the money they received last year went to new developments

    Socialism in Tanzania failed , the agricultural system of ujama failed , it became poorer and poorer , its great to be an arm chair socialist living in dreamland but every African country that practiced socialism failed - not one was successful. It put the country so far behind other counties that to this day it is still trying to catch up . Tanzania depended on aid from western Capitalist countries in the 70s and 80s -- so much for socialism

      Yes, I lived in TZ from 1977 to '79 (witnessed the war with Idi Amin), visited again in '82, lived there again from '87 to '92 and many visits since. Ujamaa was an abject failure, doing damage to the Tanzanian economy that has lasted 50 years. While aid to TZ increased, TZ's ability to care for itself declined steadily. Nyerere's one good act was to make Swahili the national language, but even there he would have done better to have made it English. The enemy of Tanzania is neither USA nor Europe but other well known world powers.

Depriving you of individual purpose to develop and better self despite probably being surrounded by people who find comfort in bleeding others. What we need is a bit of both.

    Thanks for the informative video but the narrative in it is somewhat biased. Both systems have their strengths and shortcomings. I am from Kenya but experience has shown that a mixture of both is required for sustainability of a nation at all spheres.
    Tanzania rooted for people development but with the advancement of time they have discovered the benefits of FDI due to the limited resources for development and investment for the two nations. They have seen the needs for aid and partnership.
    To conclude, it is evident J Kenyatta system was a model that would adapt to the future. And ujamaa has faded along the way. With proper deployment of resources in Kenya for devolved govts, equality will be acheived. This has partially solved this 'dominant tribe' tag some of which is fuelled by political ambitions that politicians carry out with a destructive zeal

      For some Kenyans perhaps, but looking at Kenya now, there are too many poor people. Wealth is unfairly distributed. Politicians have both wealth and power, and passing down power from one generation to another, Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga are children of Kenyatta and Odinga, think about that. Kenya’s giant economy is mainly in books, It has more slums than any African country, 37 of them to be exact. Foreigners including whites and Asians still own nearly 20% of all land; Almost 80% of all companies registered as Kenyan companies have white owners. This is why there are nearly 5 million Kenyans outside of Kenya looking for opportunities, just because Kenya isn’t built for an ordinary Kenyan. For a country that’s not at war, there’s shouldn’t be that many people leaving the country unless there’s a serious problem and citizens are becoming hopeless.
