PRESIDENT John Magufuli has directed
regional commissioners to supervise implementation of industrialisation plans
in their areas which will increase employment opportunities and allow the
public to add value to their crops. President Magufuli issued the directives
yesterday at State House in Dar es Salaam when he met and had talks with
regional commissioners from Tanzania Mainland. He directed every RC to work on
available opportunities of establishing industries in her/his respective region
and woo prospective investors to make maximum use of the opportunities. He
cited an example of Coast Region where since the Fifth Phase Government came
into power, 83 large-scale industries had been constructed and other 120
small-scale industries built.

The regional commissioners were also directed to
increase effort in solving land conflicts as well as repossessing idle land in
their regions. “Repossess idle land and reallocate it to those who are ready to
develop it, but this must be done through following proper legal procedures,”
President Magufuli said. In addition, President Magufuli warned the regional
commissioners against people plotting to usurp land, creating shortage of
agriculture land for farmers and grazing areas for pastoralists, stressing that
the culprits should be exposed and the land repossessed. The President told the
RCs to resolve conflicts between farmers and pastoralists and encourage the
public in their regions to work hard to produce enough food in the areas. The
RCs commended the President for his efforts in fighting for Tanzanian
interests, especially the downtrodden, assuring him of their support in all
areas including controlling national resource thievery such as minerals and
wildlife. Among those in attendance during the meeting include Vice- President
Samia Suluhu Hassan, Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa, Attorney General George
Masaju and Chief Secretary Ambassador John Kijazi.
