Tanzania disputes Ruto's claim on road network figures

Kenya and Tanzania are engaged in a neighbourly tiff over President William Ruto's claim that Kenya has superior road infrastructure. The president claimed that Kenya has more tarmacked roads than all other East African Community (EAC) countries combined. President Ruto said the country should only be compared with other middle-income economies. However, Tanzania’s minister for works, Abdallah Ulega, dismissed the claims on Monday, calling them misleading and demeaning to the nation led by President Samia Suluhu.
