Tanzânia contesta alegação de Ruto sobre superioridade rodoviária do Quênia

O governo da Tanzânia refutou a afirmação do presidente William Ruto — feita durante um culto religioso em 19 de abril — de que os 20.000 km de estradas asfaltadas do Quênia superam o total regional da África Oriental. Um ministro destacou os 16.000 km da própria Tanzânia e um total regional combinado superior a 22.000 km.

Em resposta às observações do presidente William Ruto em 19 de abril de 2026, feitas durante um culto religioso em Karen, onde justificou os preços mais altos dos combustíveis no Quênia alegando que seus 20.000 km de estradas asfaltadas superavam o total combinado em Uganda, Tanzânia, RDC, Ruanda, Burundi e Sudão do Sul, o governo da Tanzânia rebateu em 21 de abril. Um ministro tanzaniano afirmou que a Tanzânia, sozinha, mantém 16.000 km de estradas asfaltadas em áreas urbanas e rurais, com o total da África Oriental excedendo 22.000 km. "Deve-se saber que a Tanzânia é um país de renda média-baixa e, na África Oriental, somos apenas dois países, Tanzânia e Quênia", disse o ministro. "Portanto, esses números que nos menosprezam como outros países da África Oriental, esses números mencionados não são verdadeiros."
