Dar es Salaam. Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to protecting the interests of petty traders, motorcycle and three-wheeler taxi operators, and food vendors, insisting that jobs that can be done by Tanzanians should not be taken by foreigners who flout the law.

Dr Nchemba made the remarks yesterday at the Annual Conference for Petty Traders, Bodaboda and Bajaji Drivers in Dar es Salaam, emphasising that employment opportunities should primarily benefit citizens.
