Disabled people outcry alien beggars’ influx
‘They prefer begging to working in groups’

People with physical disabilities in Arusha City are lamenting that the influx of beggars from far off regions is giving the city a poor image as they could do productive work to earn a living.
 “All the beggars you see in Arusha streets, whether they have disabilities or not are not from here, they hail from as far as Mwanza, Shinyanga and Dodoma,” said Mr Ngoma-Nzito Nyanga the chairman of the Arusha Disabled Development Group here.
“People with disabilities in Arusha have formed development groups that deal with production and income generating activities, they neither roam in  town nor beg in the streets,” insisted Mr Nyanga whose DDG is the umbrella of such organizations.

Livestock also to have registered
‘number plates’

Eventually when you meet a Maasai herding his cattle you may be interested to check the herds authenticity by inspecting the registration numbers stamped on each cow.
A special animals’ registration system which shall provide all large livestock with compulsory individual identification numbers similar to motor vehicle number plates will soon be established in eleven countries of Eastern Africa.
The states, including Tanzania will be expected to establish agreed mechanism to ensure that all large farm and domestic animals are permanently branded and marked with standardized system to identify the country, district or ‘tribe of origin’ as well as the area and owner.
