the public should not kill each other due to ideological differences between political parties.
Mr Nchemba made the remarks yesterday, when addressing hundreds of Katoro residents in Geita District, when he was given an opportunity to greet members of the public at a rally addressed by the Prime Minister, Mr Kassim Majaliwa.
“There is no political party in the world that has the same value as that of the life of a human being or a human being’s blood. This is with regard to what happened recently in Geita and Tunduma where three people lost their lives because of political party differences,” he explained.
“None of you who are fighting and hurting each other because of political party differences attend Parliamentary sessions. When we meet in Parliament, we greet each other and drink wine together,” he told the public.
“What is it that makes you such bitter political enemies? Your actions are impacting on innocent lives.
Children are left orphans just because of differences in political party affiliations? Politics should not be taken like football games. Don’t be political enemies,” he stressed.
Meanwhile, Mr Majaliwa has promised Geita residengts that he will send the Minister for Energy and Minerals, Prof Sospeter Muhongo, to the district tomorrow to help solve the issue of allowing the public in the district to re-process the already processed sand to find minerals from the sand that is piled up in the area.
“I have called Prof Muhongo to come here with his team of directors and experts from STAMICO, to solve and arrest this issue.
I know this had already started since the vice-president visited this area, and I have been told that 75 per cent of the issue has been addressed,” he told his audience.
Mr Majaliwa, who completed his official tour of the region, returned back to Dar es Salaam yesterday evening.
