He said he wanted a new report on the job description of each manager in the ministry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want every unit in the ministry to rethink and revisit its position as well as its contribution to transforming the ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the minister, the job is serious and managers must ensure it yields positive results. \u201cThe goal is to strengthen the ministry for the betterment of the nation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mwambe also urged managers in the ministry to be more innovative and adopt initiatives that would bring about a positive impact on the country.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that there was a need for new systems that would create new markets for locally-manufactured goods and products. The markets, he said should include both internal and foreign markets.<\/p>\n<p>He said products produced by local entrepreneurs should be supported to reach the international market.<\/p>\n<p>He was, however, concerned that authorities under the ministry weren\u2019t working to link local producers as part of creating new markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI visited a dairy product company which claims it has been sourcing its packaging materials in Kenya. You can be surprised that in Tanzania we have also producers of packaging materials similar to those in Kenya, yet they claim there are no markets for their products here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He warned Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) employees who had been siding with foreign competitors to ruin local production that the government was watching.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Exaud Kigahe urged employees in the ministry to work as a team with the staff in institutions under the ministry for the greater good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
