Tarura has a lot to do in our councils but it has a little budget, let\u2019s advocate for the increment,\u201d she said, in a note that was supported by the majority of the lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Chalinze MP, Ridhiwani Kikwete (CCM), apart from hailing the government\u2019s ongoing flagship projects, asked for timely completion for Tanzanians to enjoy fruits OF investment that has been done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProjects like Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project (JNHP) and Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) have a lot to contribute in the country\u2019s economy as they would stimulate industrial investment and the transport sector respectively,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, he asked the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism to fast-track in solving disputes between villagers and Tanzania National Parks Authorities (TANAPA), in a way that benefits both parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: MEMBERS of Parliament have commended President John Magufuli\u2019s set of priorities to be executed in the next five years, asking for proper implementation and timely accomplishment of all the projects.
