Tanzania: Garbage-Choked Z'bar Seeking Solution
AMID increasing
filth in Zanzibar town caused by uncollected waste, authorities here say
that municipalities are experiencing challenges in collecting and
disposing garbage due to a shortage of trucks.
The Deputy Minister
of State (President's Office- Regional Administration, Local
Government, and Special departments), Mr Shamata Shaame Khamis, informed
the House that the government had taken measures to deploy trucks for
the exercise as soon as possible.
He said jobless
youngsters would be engaged to collect and deposit waste at identified
sites, from which it would be picked by trucks for disposal at the
central dumping site in Kibele village.
The deputy minister
did not give details on the number of the trucks required for the task.
Mr Khamis was responding to questions from backbenchers in the House of
Representatives who raised concerns over uncollected waste and filth in
the Isles' municipalities.
However, the deputy
minister blamed members of the public for making the town dirty due to
inappropriate waste deposal from homes, streets and markets.
