Mbeya. The Mbeya Regional Commissioner, Albert Chalamila on November 30 ordered the arrest of agents of Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) over their failure to attend a meeting organized for Sido Market traders in the region.
The RC had called a meeting to listen to traders’ grievances.
"RPC, find them today on Saturday and detain them somewhere and we will meet them on Monday. It can’t be. This is sheer negligence. We need them, but they are nowhere to be found.”
According to the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), the Mbeya City Council has by now four EFD agents who were supposed to attend the meeting of the Mbeya Regional Commissioner.
