Report: 50 people ‘own entire district’

Dar es Salaam. A new report on land ownership in the country has detailed shocking details of land gabbing, with at least half of one district reportedly being owned by only 50 individuals.

The report by the Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) says that more than 64.7 per cent of Tanzanians own land without formal documentation, with most of the land falling in the hands of people described as “grabbers”.

The land held by such people, according to the report, is often owned in the name of public interests, especially investment concessions. Speaking during the launch of the report yesterday in Dar es Salaam, LHRC Head of Corporate and Government Watch Flaviana Charles said that land grabbing was increasingly becoming widespread in the country.

“We looked at areas with big investments and noted a corresponding increase in cases of human rights violations,’’ said Ms Charles as she pinpointed Kilosa District in Morogoro Region where she revealed that about half of the land was in the hands of not more than 50 individuals.

"Mwandishi wa habari, Edson Kamukara

amefariki dunia jana jioni.Taarifa zilizonifikia kutoka kwa Mwanahabari maarufu wa TBC1, Angela Msangi, zinaarifu kuwa Mwandishi

huyo aliyepata kuandikia gazeti la Tanzania Daima na baadae kuhamia Mwanahalisi, amefikwa na umauti leo jioni baada ya kulipukiwa na jiko la gesi nyumbani kwake Mabibo jijini Dar es Salaam.

Aidha habari kutoka kwa majirani zinaarifu kuwa Kamukara amerejea kutoka Bukoba, na alijisikia vibaya wakati anaenda dukani kununua dawa akaanguka na majirani kusaidia kumpepea na baade kupelekwa kwake ambako alipumzika hadi alipopata nguvu na kuamua kujiandalia chakula na ndipo ajali hiyo kumfika na kugharimu maisha yake.

Pumzika kwa amani Ndugu yetu Kamukara!" Kwa mujibu wa mitandao ya kijamii

Neno Langu La Wakati Mwema lajikita sasa kusema nimeguswa na msiba wa mwanahabari huyu ama hakika si muda mrefu sana nikiwa Dodoma, kwenye Redio Mwangaza Fm nikifanya mjadala yeye ni miongoni mwa watu waliokuwa wananipa hamasa ya kujadili na kusema bila kuhisi pengine kutokana na makala ama chambuzi zake.

Kila la kheri katika ukamilisho wa safari yako ama hakika hapa duniani tu wapitaji.

Mungu ailaze mahala pema peponi roho ya marehemu Kamukara. AMEN
