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.
