COAST Regional
Commissioner (RC), Eng. Evarist Ndikilo has said that the exercise of
providing
small entrepreneurs with special identification cards
introduced by President John Magufuli recently has proved successful in
the region.
He was speaking at
the launching of the second phase exercise of distributing
identification cards to the small entrepreneurs in Kibaha Town which was
attended by District Commissioners and other region's officials over
the weekend.
"We are all
witnessing the benefits which have been brought by the use of these
identifications cards. They have enabled our small entrepreneurs to
conduct their businesses with much ease since they are not required to
pay for other levies," he said.
He further
disclosed that in last year 2019, the region managed to distribute a
total of 59,045 out of 60,000 identification cards which is equal to 98
percent and collected a total of 1.1bn/-.
The RC took time to
remind District Commissioners and all persons who are responsible for
supervising the exercise of distributing the identification cards in
their areas to ensure that it is implemented as intended without any
complications.
" It is your
responsibility to make sure that this exercise is being carried out as
we are intending and bring out positive results like we did in the past
year", he insisted.
The RC
congratulated President John Magufuli for the initiatives which he said
have improved the lives of small entrepreneurs and play an important
role in contributing to economy in their respective districts, regions
and a nation as whole.
