Dar es Salaam. President Samia Suluhu Hassan has banned political and administrative leaders from controlling trading spaces at Kariakoo Market, directing that the allocation of stalls and shops be handled transparently by the market’s management.
She said the management alone would be responsible for allocating spaces, a move aimed at improving transparency in revenue collection. According to the President, a lack of openness in revenue management was among the factors that contributed to the fire that destroyed the market, as information was often concealed during audits.
