Lukuvi’s orders on use of Coco Beach

What you need to know:

Addressing senior officials of the ministry yesterday after reporting on duty since he took the oath of office at the weekend, Mr Lukuvi directed ministry officials to meet Kinondoni Municipal Council officials and report back to him in one week over the matter.

However, with the minister’s reaction yesterday, the government seems determined not to see any major development which would involve permanent structures. In another development Mr Lukuvi has also directed his officials to go to Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) and collect information of all investors who were provided with huge chunks of land. “I want you to report to me on Monday with the names of all the investors, the size of land that they were allowed to occupy, the status of that land today and if they really utilised it as per their specified requests or they just mortgaged it,” Mr Lukuvi said. According to Lukuvi, who also served in the same ministry in the last months of former President Kikwete’s administration, said he was coming back a new person with new speed. He was also flanked by his deputy minister Angelina Mabula.
