TCCIA working to change Arusha city

Arusha CIty

The Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA) has chipped in to ensure that Arusha is transformed into a modern city and make it the best destination for investors in the East African region and Africa at large.

“So far, we have formed a special committee which will work closely with public and private sectors to accomplish this noble mission,” chairperson of TCCIA — Arusha Chapter, Adolf Olomi stated.

Speaking recently here in Arusha, Ulomi said: “We want to make Arusha the best that is possible…to make it a modern city.”

The official, who is also the managing director of the Arusha-based Banana Investment winery, explained that a first meeting of the task force on the development of the city took place recently to lay ground for the way forward.

According to him, the committee is made up of officials from the city council and representatives from the private sector, among others.

The new master plan is also expected to phase-out the overwhelming traffic chaos in the safari capital of Arusha However, Olomi could not divulge much information on the proposed master plan, saying much work remains to be done to set in motion preparation of a new development plans for the fast expanding town.

He said the growing city, which is the headquarters of several regional institutions like the East African Community (EAC), cannot afford to continue with slums in the next 30 to 50 years.

The TCCIA leader that in developing “a world class city”, local administrators should not hesitate to order pulling down of squatters dwellings as well as compensate for the buildings to be demolished in the surveyed areas.

“We can’t afford to have the present structures in Arusha in the next 30 years if the town is to become competitive in East Africa”, he stated when reached by this reporter to elaborate further on the matter.

According to him, the last development master plan for Arusha was prepared in 1978 and, according to the TCCIA chairperson and other stakeholders; it had largely not been implemented.

“I can’t say why it had not been implemented. May be some people did not like it”, he said of the plan prepared by the Canadian urban experts when the population of the town was well below 100,000.

He further argued that the Arusha “of tomorrow” would need the industrial parks, well demarcated areas for low and high density as well as specially designated areas for commerce and social services.

Officials of the Municipal Council could not been reached to comment on this though known to be part of the drive to prepare a new master plan for the city where increasing businesses has outstripped available services.

The government, nevertheless, in 2010 tripled the size of the city to 270 square kilometres from 93 kilometres square after hiving off some wards in the neighbouring Arumeru district.

The population of the city is currently estimated at well above 500,000 with some projections hinting that it could reach one million by the time the National Population Census is held next August.

Key infrastructure development projects that have started being undertaken including expanding the road network as well as opening new roads around the city to cope with huge traffic.

Arusha remained a hub of local, regional and international organizations as well as higher learning institutions; hence revamping it up remained a necessary step.

POAC: We can produce up to 2m tones of sugar

-

Murtaza Mangungu

The Public Organisations Accounts Committee (POAC) yesterday directed the Sugar Board to initiate reforms which will encourage investments in potential areas in the industry in a bid to increase production and lower prices.

According to the committee, high sugar prices are largely caused by low supply which has failed to satisfy demand. At the moment, Tanzania produces less than 200, 000 tonnes annually while actual demand ranges between 350, 000 and 400, 000 per year, said Murtaza Mangungu, POAC acting chairman told reporters yesterday in Dar es Salaam shortly after meeting with Sugar Board management.

“That’s why, we want Sugar Board to come up with strategic interventions that would ultimately increase production, and automatically lower the prices,” he said.

The committee advised the board to direct more investments in areas such as Rufiji, Kasulu, Malagarasi, Ikongo which have a big potential for sugar farming. If well organised the respective areas can produce around two million tonnes of sugar, over and above the demand, he observed.

Mangungu said the board should create conducive environment to attract both local and foreign investors to the areas, but noted that special consideration should be given to small-scale producers. “The board needs to make sure that small-scale sugar farmers benefit from these initiatives and reforms,” he added.

Reducing skyrocketing sugar prices is still a big headache to the authorities, with parliamentary watchdog saying enforcement of government’s 1700/- ceiling per kilo has been an uphill task due to market forces and increased production costs.

Government’s interventions stepped up last year to lower prices, have not yielded the anticipated results with sugar price currently standing at 2,800/- per kilo in some upcountry regions.

Mangungu said: “There are many market and production-related forces which makes the enforcement of government directive difficult.”

He said under the current open-market regime, sugar producers in Tanzania were facing stiff competition coupled with increasing production costs, triggered by unreliable power supply.

“We talked to Sugar Board officials, and they presented facts on forces and constraints existing in the sugar industry. Some dealers spent a lot of money to produce the commodity and so cannot sell it at 1700/-,” the POAC acting chairman said, adding: “As members of Parliament, we are also concerned with the suffering of our fellow Tanzanians due to high sugar prices, but market forces and high production costs, remains a major challenge.”

Deputy Minister for Education and Vocational Training, Mr Philipo Mulugo

The Deputy Minister for Education and Vocational Training Phillip Mulugo has banned tuition fees which primary and secondary school children pay saying it promoted unequal opportunities between rich and poor students.

Briefing journalists on his tour of primary schools in Dar es Salaam Region, Mulugo said in a bid to convince pupils to join the evening classes, teachers were refusing to repeat some of the topics taught in normal classes.

He said it was unfair for teachers to concentrate on those who attend after-class learning sessions, saying the tendency has contributed to rising ignorance especially in primary schools.

“There should be no fee charged for evening classes from now. Pupils should only be allowed to make contributions for other things as directed by the government”, he noted.

He gave all head teachers up to February 28th, this year to submit to his office the number of pupils who doesn’t know how to read and write.

The minister said the level of ignorance among pupils was growing daily, adding: “Throughout my visit in Dar es Salaam I have noted the presence of pupils who don’t know how to read and write.”

Mulugo appealed to head teachers to closely monitor expenditure of school funds to minimise complaints from parents. He said schools must organize meetings between teachers, parents and pupils where various issues including expenditures should be discussed.

He said pupils in Dar es Salaam schools have to contribute in accordance with the recent circular whereby for Kinondoni pupils are required to contribute 5,000/- for caution money, 5,000/- for identity card 15,000/- for desks and 2,000/-for school logos to be sewn onto their uniforms.

He said starting next year all the school will be subjected to similar contributions. He said that Kinondoni was charging higher contributions for desks compared to other schools in Temeke and Ilala district

According to him, pupils in Temeke district contribute 4,000/- for desks and chairs and 5, 000/- for school watchman.

He stressed that all the payments should be approved by the district education officer upon issuance of receipts.

He reiterated that Form Two students will have to get 30 percent overall pass to be allowed to progress with secondary education. He also cautioned all registered schools to stop allowing students from unregistered education centres to sit for final exams from the National Examination Council of Tanzania (NECTA), explaining that some of the students lacked qualifications.

The government has promised to work on the problems facing Muheza residents in Tanga region, including water shortage, frequent power outages and poor road infrastructure.

The promise was made here yesterday by Vice-President Dr Mohamed Gharib Bilal when addressing a rally in Muheza town.

He said the government was aware of the problems facing Muheza district residents and that, it had been working on them step by step and the time would come when all problems would be solved.

He noted that he had been briefed about the problems facing the residents, especially water shortages, electricity woes and poor road infrastructure and had also been informed about the steps taken to resolve them.

Dr Bilal told the residents that he was informed that the problem of electricity was caused by technical faults at two transformers and Tanesco technicians were working on the matter so that electricity supply resumed in Muheza town.

“I would like to urge you residents of Muheza to calm down. Your government is committed to bringing about better life to everybody and it is aware of the problems you are now facing. We, your leaders, are going to solve them step by step. That is what your government is going to do,” he insisted.

Meanwhile, Dr Bilal has urged the Muheza residents to establish reforestation programmes in areas where trees had been cut down and preserve the remaining natural forests to conserve the environment in their areas.

The vice-president said this when he visited Amani Natural Reserve where he held a rally with the residents.

He said Amani residents should be proud of a good environment they had but should plant trees to prevent environmental destruction.

For years now, Amani area has been notorious for environmental destruction following the invasion of a big number of illegal miners seeking gold in the Amani natural reserve.

The invasion has caused a great damage to natural forests and to water sources.

The efforts of regional and district authorities to stop the invasion has yet to bear fruit and more effort and collaboration from different stakeholders and residents was still need to contain the problem.

However, Muheza residents were optimistic that the coming of the vice president would help get a permanent solution to the problems they were facing.
