She then directed the region’s social services and legal authorities to oversee that these GBV problems are addressed and the public is educated and made aware to avoid future harm.
“Manyara is changing economically, and I urge you to change your behaviours,” she said.
The head of state stressed that such actions do not favourably represent a country that is renowned for its peace and harmony in addition to issuing a warning against misconduct and criminality from the people against one another.
“Despite the nation’s overall tranquility, there have been a few instances where people have broken the law without following the rules, which is not beneficial for the nation.,” she said.
On the global fears for food insecurity in the future, President Hassan instructed regional authorities in Manyara to continue emphasising on production and building proper storage facilities.
“There is no need for Tanzania to be concerned about famine, which is why we have taken all essential steps including producing seeds and creating effective irrigation systems.,” she said.
