This matter should not bring about political disharmony,\u201d Mr Chalamila said.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Mr Mbilinyi said he was not upset by information about the planned demolition because he had all the permits for the facility.<\/p>\n<p>He said the message from the president will bring more confidence to investors and other traders.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mbilinyi lost his parliament seat for Mbeya Urban to Deputy Speaker, Dr Tulia Ackson in the October general election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
