Tanzanian President John Magufuli said the loan agreements of BRI projects in his country were "exploitative and awkward."[117] He said Chinese financiers set "tough conditions that can only be accepted by mad people," because his government was asked to give them a guarantee of 33 years and a extensive lease of 99 years on a port construction. Magufuli said Chinese contractors wanted to take the land as their own but his government had to compensate them for drilling the project construction.[118]
