Minister responsible for investment, Geoffrey Mwambe and the Trade and Industries Minister Prof Kitila Mkumbo arrived in the natural gas-rich region Monday to help mediate the two parties that have seen drivers off their wheels for the past 12 days.<\/p>\n

There demands include salaries, travel allowance and traffic fines imposed on motorists for a damaged vehicle.<\/p>\n

They are also calling for employment contracts and supply of travel canvas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two ministers arrived earlier today and will hold three closed meetings on the matter,\u201d said Mtwara Regional Commissioner Gelasius Byakanwa.<\/p>\n

He told reporters that there will be a brief session after the internal meeting with the top government officials.<\/p>\n

Initially Dangote factory management held a reconciliation meeting with the drivers under the regional commissioner and agreed to pay road fines, install tarpaulins and raise transport allowances.<\/p>\n

The drivers on the other hand turned down the investors proposal sustaining the strike for yet another day. They demand salary increments, employment contracts and travel allowances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
