Government says private sector is happy with regulatory reforms

Dar es Salaam. The private sector is happy with the government’s dedication to implementing the Blueprint for regulatory reforms, according to the Chief Secretary Dr Moses Kusiluka.

He said members of the business community are happy and satisfied with the government's commitment over the past three years to establish a robust foundation for business operations and investment attraction.

Dr Kusiluka was briefing reporters on the one-day 37th meeting of the TNBC executive committee, which ended here on Tuesday, April 16. The committee, which is co-chaired by the Chief Secretary, is a crucial organ at the TNBC.

The committee meets to hear from the public and private sectors because the private sector is deemed to be a strategic partner of the government in building the national economy.

"In this formal and affirmative feedback, the private sector has recognised and supported the government's endeavours and dedication to implementing the Blueprint. This reassurance is greatly appreciated as it reflects the sixth-phase government's commitment to economic reforms, fostering a conducive business environment, and attracting investments," Dr Kusiluka stated.

He highlighted various measures undertaken by the government under President Samia Hassan's leadership in the past three years, leading to the growth of the private sector.

Co-chairing the committee, Chairperson of the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF), Ms Angelina Ngalula, acknowledged the government's strides in implementing the Blueprint.

However, she urged further public education on the Blueprint's significance and proper execution to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts between business community members and the public sector.

TNBC Executive Secretary Dr Godwill Wanga said the meeting's focus is on developing a digital national economy to enhance overall national productivity in production and social services.
