The RC said it is better for all beggars to go to the right place that deals with social welfare. They should not disturb other members of the community on the streets.
He said that the presence of big numbers
of beggars is also a challenging situation in terms of security in Dar
es Salaam. “I have discovered that 80 per cent of beggars come into the
city on their own fares.
So, I urge them to use their own fares
to go back to their home places before an operation that will see them
under arrest begins next Monday,” Makonda told reporters yesterday.
At the same occasion the Dar es Salaam
Special Zone Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr Simon Sirro, urged the
chairpersons of local government to cooperate with the Police Force to
arrest all beggars in their areas before next Monday.
“Do not wait for the police only to
conduct this operation as it has been ordered by the RC. We have to
cooperate to promote defence and security in order to keep the city free
from crimes,” said Sirro.
Mr Makonda, who is also the chairman of
the regional defence and security committee has urged the owners of
highrise buildings that do not have parking space to see him at his
office on Monday for either paying fines or build parking lots
immediately. The other option is to demolish their buildings.
“We want the city that has a good
arrangement. Flat owners are aware that parking space is necessary but I
wonder why they continue building without considering areas for
parking,” he said.
