  • AFRICA RISK CONSULTING Tanzania Monthly Briefing
    AFRICA RISK CONSULTING Tanzania Monthly Briefing December 2020 Tanzania Summary 4 December 2020 President John Magufuli (2015-present) outlines his priorities for his second and final term in office during the inauguration of parliament on 13 November following the resounding win of the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) in the October general election. While Magufuli has signalled further assistance for the private sector, his delay in appointing a full cabinet has further slowed government engagement. The protracted downturn in tourism globally is putting Tanzania’s economy, and its levels of foreign exchange reserves, under strain. Tanzania fares moderately compared to its regional neighbours in the Mo Ibrahim Foundation’s annual Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG). Magufuli’s second term off to a slow start President John Magufuli (2015-present) outlined his priorities for his second, and final, term in office at the inauguration of parliament on 13 November.1 Magufuli won the 28 October election with 84.4% of the popular vote, while the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party won an overwhelming majority in the National Assembly.2 Although there were significant concerns both within Tanzania and among international observers about the level of government interference in the polls,3 the National Electoral Commission (NEC) has upheld the results and the focus has now shifted to what Magufuli’s second term in office is likely to look like. During the inauguration speech, Magufuli vowed to continue to prosecute his broadly successful anti- corruption campaign, which has seen Tanzania rise from 119th place in 2014 to 96th place in 2019 in Germany-based non-governmental organisation Transparency International’s annual Corruption Perceptions Index during his time in office.4 Magufuli also committed to work further to see the country industrialise, with a focus on job creation and infrastructure, as well as commitment to ensure that the country’s key economic indicators remain stable.

In his place, the President President Magufuli at the controls of the new Air Tanzania Boeing 787-800 Dreamliner (See “Transport”) - photo State House cover photo: Steigler’s Gorge where new dam is proposed (see “Tourism & Environmental Conservation”) photo © Greg Armfield / WWF Politics 3 promoted Kangi Lugola from his position as Deputy Minister of State in the Vice President’s Office for Union Affairs and the Environment. The reshuffle also saw Isack Kamwelwe and Prof Makame Mbarawa swap places as Minister of Water and Irrigation and Minister of Works, Transport and Communication, with Prof Mbarawa moving to the water docket. While not a cabinet post, the President also appointed a new chairman of the National Electoral Commission, Justice Semistocles Kaijage. This followed a few weeks after the long-standing CCM Secretary General, Abdul-Rahman Kinana, resigned from his post. President Magufuli, as party chairman, moved swiftly to appoint Dr Bashiru Ally as his replacement. The appointment was confirmed by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC). President Magufuli, while not mentioning former Minister Nchemba by name, appeared to explain the reasons for his sacking in a speech two days later. He listed a long series of problems at the Home Affairs Ministry, including a controversial TSh 37bn contract where the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) said in his report that the work was not done, despite the payment of billions of shillings.

The issues below reveal recent developments in the continent’s banking sector. NIGERIAN BANKS STRUGGLING IN EAST AFRICA When Access Bank from Nigeria recently acquired Transnational Bank in Kenya, the number of Nigerian- based banks currently operating in Kenya increased to three. The other two are UBA and GTBank. In East Africa, all three also provide banking services in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda. According to one article, while an aggressive pan-African agenda is driving these growth initiatives, local market conditions are often ignored. That is why the Nigerian banks have yet to reach the dominant positions in the east African markets they enjoy in their Nigerian home market. The article’s author identifies two fundamental differences between the Nigerian and East African markets, and explores their implications: First, Nigeria is largely a big-ticket market, where the focus is on large private conglomerates or entities/businesses in which the State holds interest(s). As it’s a corporate-driven market, a large balance sheet is a core value proposition. The East African market, in contrast, is small-ticket segment where the share of consumer credit in Kenya stands at more than a third of total outstanding credit.

There was the possibility that it might face defeat on election day – October 25. They must be happy with the results (which are given below). The main opposition party CHADEMA had acquired a new and dynamic leader, Edward Lowassa, a former CCM Prime Minister under President Kikwete. Further, the party had joined with three other parties to form a coalition, called UKAWA (Umoja wa Katiba ya Wananchi) or ‘Coalition of Defenders of the People’s Constitution’, which promised to present a strong challenge, and which had access to sufficient resources to run a formidable campaign. UKAWA must have been disappointed by the results and Lowassa refused initially to accept them. cover photo: Inauguration of President Magufuli, Nov 5th 2015 2015 Election & Results 3 (Details of what happened in the period leading up to the elections were given in Tanzanian Affairs No 112).
