THE Minister for Agriculture,
Livestock and Fisheries, Mr Mwigulu Nchemba, has said that no political
party can be compared to the life of a human being, stressing that
members of the public should not kill each other due to ideological
differences between political parties.
Mr Nchemba made the remarks yesterday,
when addressing hundreds of Katoro residents in Geita District, when he
was given an opportunity to greet members of the public at a rally
addressed by the Prime Minister, Mr Kassim Majaliwa.
“There is no political party in the
world that has the same value as that of the life of a human being or a
human being’s blood. This is with regard to what happened recently in
Geita and Tunduma where three people lost their lives because of
political party differences,” he explained.
“None of you who are fighting and
hurting each other because of political party differences attend
Parliamentary sessions. When we meet in Parliament, we greet each other
and drink wine together,” he told the public.
“What is it that makes you such bitter political enemies? Your actions are impacting on innocent lives.
Children are left orphans just because
of differences in political party affiliations? Politics should not be
taken like football games. Don’t be political enemies,” he stressed.
Meanwhile, Mr Majaliwa has promised
Geita residengts that he will send the Minister for Energy and Minerals,
Prof Sospeter Muhongo, to the district tomorrow to help solve the issue
of allowing the public in the district to re-process the already
processed sand to find minerals from the sand that is piled up in the
area.
“I have called Prof Muhongo to come here with his team of directors and experts from STAMICO, to solve and arrest this issue.
I know this had already started since
the vice-president visited this area, and I have been told that 75 per
cent of the issue has been addressed,” he told his audience.
Mr Majaliwa, who completed his official tour of the region, returned back to Dar es Salaam yesterday evening
