I do not believe in increasing salaries, then the next day impose high taxes and increase prices on products,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He said instead, his government reduced the \u2018pay as you earn\u2019 from 11 percent to 9 percent thereby enabling many workers to pock handsome salaries.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of State, who is seeking the second term in office, clarified that over the past five years, his government paid 1.6trl\/- pensions and 500bn\/- was released as arrears to public workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe focused on paying arrears, pensions and creating employment opportunities, this is one of best strategies for improving people\u2019s lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the government is building the Standard Gauge railway (SGR), Julius Nyerere Hydropower project and many other big projects, which will in turn simplify Tanzanians\u2019 lives, including public servants.<\/p>\n<p>He said his government was offering free education, improved health and water services as well as supplying electricity to both urban and rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy point here is that instead of increasing salaries in the form that some people want to see, we have decided to improve education, water and education services, which are also crucial for public servants,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>However, President Magufuli reiterated that he will increase salaries before the end of his presidency if re-elected.<\/p>\n<p>He asked Tanzanians and all other politicians to engage in peaceful campaigns, saying there was life after the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe election is just a process, we must understand that there is life after an election. We must behave properly and treat each other fairly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In another development, President Magufuli ordered Musoma District administration to immediately release 600m\/- for the completion of Bweli stand construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am giving the district executive director five days to release the money for the completion of the bus stand,\u201d he directed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: FLORENCE MUGARULA\u00a0 AfricaPress-Tanzania: CHAMA Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) presidential candidate, Dr John Magufuli, yesterday clarified how his government \u2018technically\u2019 increased salaries to public servants and improved Tanzanians\u2019 welfare through various mega projects.
