On Wednesday, Tanzania President, John Pombe Magufuli, at State House in Dar es Salaam, received gold consignment from his Kenyan counterpart, Uhuru Kenyatta.
The luggage had been escorted by Foreign Affairs CS, Monica Juma, and other government officials.
Upon receiving the package, the outspoken Tanzanian leader took out his phone and called President Kenyatta to thank him.
Uhuru missed the first call but after a second call, he received and apologised informing Magufuli that he was in a meeting.
Magufuli, true to his character, put the phone call on speaker in a room full of people and letting them listen in to the conversation.
The conversation was filled with light moments where the two leaders cracked joke after joke but still maintaining the agenda of helping the citizens of the two countries.
Kenyan head of state assured his counterpart of the continued cordial relationship that would help improve the economies of the two countries.
Magufuli also handed the phone to his vice president Samia Suluhu to pass her regards.
When handed back the phone Magufuli could not hold back his admiration for the CS whom Uhuru had sent and opened up sating that she was not only beautiful but also knew her work.
“Nashukuru kwa wewe kumtuma waziri wa mambo ya nje, Mbali ya kuwa ni mzuri lakini anachapa kazi na awakuwakilisha vizuri (I thank you for sending the foreign minister, apart from being beautiful she can also work and she is representing you well),” Magufuli stated.
The response that Uhuru gave left the room in stitches as he begged Magufuli to let his CS fly back home.
“Huyo wachana na yeye arudi nyumbani tafadhali (please let her come back home),” Uhuru replied.
The Tanzanian leader ended the conversation by urging the crowd to cheer for his Kenyan counterpart due to his patriotism.
