IL CAPO Posted March 25, 2004 Tanzania has rejected a newly appointed Japanese ambassador to the country. The Tanzanian Permanent Secretary in the president's office sent a refutation letter to the Japanese Prime Minister early today. In the brief letter, the Permanent Secretary expressed his apology that the newly appointed ambassador will not be allowed to take the post in Tanzania due to the contradictions that his and his wife's names will cause in the Swahili speaking society. However, The Permanent Secretary added that the issue should not be taken as a personal matter and that the ambassador will be allowed to serve the post in Tanzania if his and his wife's names will be changed. The ambassador Takauchi Kumamoto and his wife Kunyamavi Kayashika were expected to arrive in Dar es Salaam this weekend. This reminds me of my Japanese imaginary friends like: Akishuta Atahara and Nikija Nitashika. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
