That statement really hold water today, because that reasonable time after independence has already passed away,in all these years(47 years of independence now) we have grown to have very broadly differences in terms of everything (culture,economy,respect to each other,policies,securities,etc)therefore it is difficult now to attain EAC, Nyerere told them lets do it now, they did not want to listen to him, yule mzee alikuwa anaona mbali, sasa wanaanza kulia lia, waswahili tunasema asiye sikia la mkuu, huvunjika guu, sasa kazi kwao sisi tunayeya tu, polepole lakini iko siku tutakuwa fresh
Serikali yangu itaenda mbele zaidi na kuhakikisha kwamba ripoti ya CAG ikitolewa, viongozi ambao taasisi zao zimekutwa na makosa wanakaa pembeni siku hiyo hiyo na hatua za kisheria, za kipolisi, za kimahakama zinaanza siku inayofuatia. Kipaumbele cha nne ni usimamizi wa uchumi. Serikali yangu taimarisha uwezo wa taasisi za usimamizi wa uchumi – ikiwemo Wizara ya Fedha, Tume ya Mipango, Benki Kuu na Mamlaka ya Mapato. Nitazipa mamlaka na rasilimali-watu ili ziweze kudhibiti mfumuko wa bei, kuporomoka kwa thamani ya shilingi, nakisi ya bajeti, kupungua kwa hifadhi ya fedha za kigeni, kukua kwa deni la taifa na kusimamia uwekezaji wa kimkakati wa sekta binafsi.
