We ask for help,\u201d several citizens complained in front of the deputy minister.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Mr Waitara directed Tarime District Council Executive Director (DED) Apoo Castro Tindwa not to celebrate New Year and instead ensure waste was removed from the market surrounded by business premises and several women selling foodstuffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTomorrow (Friday) there will be no New Year celebrations for DED and his colleagues. They must come to remove this waste,\u201d Mr Waitara, who is also an MP for Tarime Rural Constituency, said.<\/p>\n<p>He promised to return to Sirari to see whether his directives had been implemented. He wondered why the district council had failed to manage waste despite that it was earning an average of 36m\/- each year.<\/p>\n<p>Residents surrounding the market demanded investigation into what they described as 60m\/- spent by the council to build a garbage store.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow come that they (district council) have spent 60m\/- to construct a waste store and it has never been used,\u201d the new Sirari Ward councillor, Mr Amos Sagara, said.<\/p>\n<p>The deputy minister said officials involved in the construction of the waste store should be held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Waitara also directed Tarime Town Council to shift its dump from Starehe, which was close to residential houses. He also warned town council environmental officials against turning roads into waste dumps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
