The ongoing online feud between Kenya and Tanzania has taken an intriguing twist, particularly after it emerged that Tanzanian Member of Parliament Joseph Kasheku Musukuma, who has been leading the pushback against Kenyans, possesses only a primary-level education.
The MP, who represents Geita Constituency, went viral on Monday, May 26, for branding Kenyans uneducated and politically inferior in the wake of the drama surrounding Kenyan activists and Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu. "We as Tanzanians have nothing to learn from Kenya," Musukuma said during a recent Parliamentary session. "We're better than they are at politics; we are more intelligent and everything else.
English is not a problem; we have our own culture." The comments did not augur well with Kenyans, whose attention briefly shifted from President Suluhu to the Geita MP.
