New Mara Regional Commissioner (RC), Mr Adam Malima

THE new Mara Regional Commissioner (RC), Mr Adam Malima, has urged officials to provide best treatment to investors interested to invest different industries in the region.

Mr Malima repeatedly made the appeal during his first working day in Tarime district on Tuesday evening. He was impressed with efforts being made to establish several industries in the district, but said giving investors best and fast services will help the region attract more investors.

“Any incoming investors should not be left to go away. Investors have options. They need better services,” Mr. Malima insisted, saying that any official who will try to frustrate investors will not be tolerated in the region.

A report submitted to the RC by Tarime officials indicates that plans to establish several factories in the district are progressing well. Mr Malima expressed satisfaction on the prevailing peace and tranquility in Tarime, something which he said is an important factor to attract investments.

“I am impressed with the peace and security issues here (Tarime), and I also congratulate you for the achievements you have attained in other areas, “Mr Malima said. The RC was received by Tarime District Commissioner (DC), Mr. Glorious Luoga and top district officials.

He also had an opportunity to speak to Tarime district council and Tarime town council government experts and assured them of good cooperation that will see Mara region making strides on economic and social development. Among other things, the RC said special attention will be given on efforts that will help double agricultural products.

On the other hand, the RC warned local government officials to stop cooking statistics on key sectors like farming and livestock. Correct and realistic figures, he said, are imperative in assessing performance of the economic sectors.

Mr Malima had already visited almost all districts of the region soon after he was recently appointed as the new Mara RC by President John Magufuli.
