NEWS FROM THE PARLIAMENT:
The Kigoma North legislator from the opposition camp
in parliament Zitto Zuberi Kabwe (ACT-Wazalendo) has queried the recent inference
of the CCM party’s ideology and publicity secretary Humphrey Polepole of
disengaging the legal decision passed by Ujiji Municipal Council in Kigoma
town. Zitto has accused the well-known CCM cadre who apparently has suppressed
the decision passed by Ujiji Municipal Council of increasing charges of levies
which have been legally induced within its municipal jurisdiction.

The
outspoken legislator said in Parliament that, the CMM carder had intervened the
implementation of the newly introduced levies which had already been passed by
the municipal councilors in their normal legal financial committee meetings
saying that was illogical and contrary to local government’s ordinances. He
noted that, CCM as a party has no the jurisdiction mandate of interfering with
the local administration procedures aimed at developing the local people at the
municipal levels in the country. The legislator directed his question to the
ministry of local government and regional administration which is under the
President’s office and demanded for the explanations or clarification. In
responding to the question, the deputy minister responsible George Kakunda told
Members of Parliament that, this is a new issue and that has not yet received
any update report and in view of this, he has pledged to make a follow up to
see the legality of the matter and work on it respectively.
