“There is nothing that cannot be deliberated on in the National Assembly. We must continue with the process,” the Prime Minister said while responding to the Leader of the Official Opposition, Mr Freeman Mbowe during the routine Thursday’s PM questions time.
Mr Mbowe had asked the premier to intervene in what he described as serious misunderstandings and omissions in the draft constitution.
“The constitution is not a simple matter and Constitution Review (Amendment) Bill has some phrases which should be straightened for the welfare of the nation.
“The opposition in Parliament would like to advise you in good faith… the Prime Minister to withdraw the Bill for further assessment before returning it in Parliament for the benefit of both sides of the Union,” Mr Mbowe submitted.
“In the past, it was difficult for investors to travel to our region but today we have good airstrip that is under expansion to accommodate more planes…it’s therefore time for investors to come and explore business potentials in the regions,” said Mr Maneno.
The DC dismissed rumours of insecurity in the region, saying that leaders in the Tanganyika Lake zone have ensured peace and unity among the people in the region despite having plenty of refugees.
The forum will involve Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA), Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) and theExport Processing Zone Authority (EPZA), but also differentstakeholders, ambassadors and investment centres, with President Jakaya Kikwete likely to preside over the forum.
Lake Tanganyika zone comprises three regions – Katavi, Kigoma and Rukwa
