Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>PRESIDENT Samia Suluhu Hassan has emphasized the significance of paying taxes so as the government continues to implement numerous development programmes, including repaying development partners\u2019 loans.<\/p>\n

The President made the call yesterday at Bomang\u2019ombe Town, Hai District in Kilimanjaro region where she made a stopover on her way to Moshi Municipality to preside over the Cultural Festival scheduled for today.<\/p>\n

Samia remarked on the need of paying taxes in response to a plea from Hai Member of Parliament, Mr Saashisha Mafuwe, who reminded her of her September 2021 promise to build a market at the Kwasadala area of the district.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the country, we have a special programme for markets development, and Phase One is finished and the funds have run out. We are currently negotiating with our lenders to obtain a new loan for Phase Two, in which we must ensure that the markets assist us in repaying the debt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will come to construct the market as promised once we have the money for Phase Two. The formula is; we borrow and reimburse it, so you must ensure that you pay taxes when we build markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Samia stated in December 2021 that her government would not be discouraged from borrowing and that she would seek further concessional loans to fund key projects like the on-going Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite efforts to discourage us from borrowing, we will continue to implement the initiatives. Even developed countries have debts, so we will have to borrow to finish the development projects we have started,\u201d noted the Head of State.<\/p>\n

\u201cI pledged to continue on the constructive route set by past administrations, overseeing the completion of all ongoing projects and initiating new ones. We will continue to monitor and see that they are completed,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n

The Head of State further noted that she has been honest in all of the loans she has obtained and that all Tanzanians are aware of how the borrowed funds are spent.<\/p>\n

In response to questions on irrigation schemes in the region, she stated that the Minister for Finance, Dr Mwigulu Nchemba has already obtained finances for irrigation projects around the country, with irrigation schemes in the region being among the beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two things that will enable us to undertake faster development activities; those are loans and mobile money levy, instead of waiting to collect small monies,\u201c President Samia remarked, recalling also of the refurbishment of old schools.<\/p>\n

Everyone has seen the benefits of consensual loans, including the construction of classrooms that allow form one student to enrol, according to the Head of State. MP Mafuwe had previously stated that there are approximately 13 dilapidated schools in the constituency and demanded government\u2019s assistance to renovate them.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur irrigation schemes were damaged by the floods, and some are dilapidated. If we get more money in this area, the people of Hai will be able to conduct agricultural activities and contribute to GDP. Mr Mafuwe said when President Samia was recording the \u2018Royal Tour\u2019 she stopped over the area and pledged to construct the Kwasadala Market, where they have already developed a map which comprises value-addition industries and packaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe request you today to direct the President\u2019s Office, Regional Administration and Local Government to begin building a modern market,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President Samia has directed permanent secretaries and their deputies to execute their duties effectively so as to bring development to the citizens.<\/p>\n

The Head of State issued the directives yesterday in a working meeting held at Jakaya Kikwete Convention Centre in Dodoma.<\/p>\n

The president also told them to execute their tasks by considering national plans including Development Vision 2020-2025, Five-Year Development Plan 2021\/2022 -2025\/2026, and Chama Cha Mapinduzi Election Manifesto that has identified government\u2019s development priorities.<\/p>\n
