Reports that locals are excluded in employment opportunities in some tourist hotels here yesterday upset President Jakaya Kikwete, prompting him to direct the relevant authorities to take appropriate measures to ensure Tanzanians benefit fairly from investment projects.The president was reacting to a complaint by the Sheha of Nungwi, Mr Kombo Haji Ali, that hotels there rejected employing residents of the area and that most of their staff were foreigners mainly from Kenya and Uganda.
Mr Kikwete who had called the Sheha to tell him what problems faced the people in the Shehia, said the country should put in place procedures that would enable it reap maximum benefits from its tourism industry which was one of the country’s leading sectors of the economy.
He said investment projects were supposed to have backward and forward linkages to the economy which included payment of taxes, provision of employment and market for locally produced commodities.
“We should therefore be strict and negotiate for terms that will benefit our country and the people in the best possible way,” he said, challenging the authorities concerned to do away with inferiority complex and sit on the negotiating tables shoulders high.

ni lazima rais awe upset, kuna mambo mengi sana ya kipuuziyanaendelea ndio maana nashauri kikwete awe more serios sijui ni kwa nini mpaka sasa hajmfukuza waziri hata mmoja kwa kutokuwajibika maana wengi bado wajaweza kutimiza wajibu wao.

Kuwa upset only haitoshi lazima baadhi ya viongozi wawajibishwe na utaratibu wote ubadilike.

Raisi Lazima uwachukulie hatua wote wanao husika , hii ndiyo kama iliyo kua kwenye baadhi ya makampuni ya simu, watu wakitaka kuongezwa mshahara , Watanzania wenzetu wenye madaraka wanasema hatuhitaji kuwa na mshahara mkubwa , tukiwa nao tutakufa na ukimwi, Na maana hapo lazima kuna mikono ya wazawa, Raisi lazima achukulie hili , hili la kuajili watu kutoka nje lina sababiswa na watendaji ambao wapo serikarini, Hapa tunataka kuona mtu anaadabiswa.
