In some places I found people who have started to volunteer by starting socio-economic projects and later on the government came in to give its contribution, this enthusiasm is very high when it comes to issues that aim at bringing development\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Uhuru Torch Race has a theme insisting on advocating for the need for the public to effectively participate in the upcoming national census for proper planning for national development.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kagaigai said the region will receive the Uhuru Torch on June 6, this year, at Bendera village, Bendera ward, in Same District.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
