 The Minister of State in the Prime Ministers Office (Investment), Ms Angellah Kairuki,  has appealed to regional commissioners to ensure district councils set aside investment land arguing that  investment flows will naturally go to regions and districts that have set aside land and developed requisite infrastructure for investment.

 The minister made the appeal here as she wound up her five-day tour of Iringa, Njombe and Mbeya Regions. The visit enabled her to learn the successes, problems and challenges regions and investors were facing in strengthening existing projects and attracting new investments.

The minister said regions and districts that that have set aside land and established essential investment infrastructure have put in place an incentive to attract prospective investors.  She said the three southern highlands regions have unmatched investment tourism, farming and livestock-keeping opportunities that are begging for big investments. It is important for each region and its district councils in our country to set aside land and develop vital infrastructure for investment in order to attract foreign and local investors, she said

She called on investors in the three regions to register themselves with the Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) in order to benefit from opportunities offered by the centre, saying the government was working hard to improve the business and investment climate.  Welcome to the TIC to see for yourselves the kind of investment opportunities in Tanzania, she said
 The three regions are in the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) and have been grouped together in a set known as Ihemi Cluster.  SAGCOT and its partners facilitate socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable value chain investments and the minister praised SAGCOT for the work it was doing.

 The SAGCOT Chief Executive Officer, Mr Geoffrey  Kirenga, said Sagoct and the private sector were supporting the government in a bid to make Tanzania a middle-income industrial nation.

Minister Kairuki visited 20 establishments that included Asas dairies Farm Ltd, GBRI Solutions Tanzania Ltd, Farm for the Future, Silverlands (T) Ltd, Masifio Estates, Pyrethrum Tanzania ( PCT), Qwihaya General Entreprises, Sao Hill, Unilever Tea Tanzania Ltd, Njombe Milk Factory, Outgrowers Services Co.Ltd (NOSC), Tanzanice , Olivado Tanzania Ltd , Marmo Granito Ltd, Irish Potato Promotion Project, Raphael Group Ltd, Highland Estates Ltd, Mbeya Cement Co. Ltd.

NEMC warns on emptying effluent in built-up areas, flood waters By Petter Keasi, Dar es salaam THE National Environment Management Council (NEMC) warned yesterday that people or institutions who will take advantage of current short rains and direct waste matter to flood waters, storm water canals or rivers will be punished severely. NEMC Director General, Dr Samuel Gwamaka, told reporters in Dar es Salaam yesterday the NEMC learned in the past that some reckless people and institutions were directing effluent to moving waters and that contaminated water either ended up in residential areas or in water bodies. “Some irresponsible people secretly take advantage of heavy rains to pour out waste from latrines or factories.  Those doing so are not only breaking the law but they are also endangering other creatures’ lives, harming people’s health and swelling up public health. Culprits will be severely punished,” he warned.    Chemical was...
