Tanzania is not a public toilet, MPs tell Kenyan activists

Dodoma. Tanzanian lawmakers erupted in anger on Monday, accusing Kenyan activists of undermining national peace and security, with some going as far as declaring that Tanzania should not be treated “like a public toilet” where people come and go as they please.

The strong remarks were made during debate on the Ministry of Home Affairs’ 2025/26 budget estimates, in which Minister Innocent Bashungwa tabled a request for Sh2.06 trillion—an increase from Sh1.71 trillion of the previous financial year—to implement five priority areas.
