Dodoma. Member of Parliament for Mpanda Rural constituency, Mr Seleman Kakoso has today called on Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) to reduce its fares, saying they are too high to be afforded by ordinary Tanzanians.

Mr Kakoso was speaking in the parliament Dodoma while contributing to the proposals for the national development plan for the year 2022/2023.

"The ATCL fare from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma is the same as flying from Dar es Salaam to Dubai, making it difficult for ordinary Tanzanians to afford," he said.
