Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s main business lobby yesterday urged the government to strengthen economic empowerment policies that prioritize citizen participation in major projects, warning that the country risks leaving its people on the sidelines of its growth story.
Speaking at a press conference in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA) president Vicent Minja said while President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s administration has succeeded in attracting investment, the next step must be to ensure Tanzanians have a greater stake in strategic sectors.
