In her first address to parliament since she took over the presidency after the death of Dr John Pombe Magufuli, President Samia said her administration would promote investments by creating a good business environment. “We intend to focus more on economic growth. We will focus on livestock production through inter-breeding to enable pastoralists have fewer livestock but bigger production capabilities,” she said. On fisheries, President Suluhu said the focus will be on strengthening the management of sea fishing so that Tanzania can benefit from its resources. The president pledged to strengthen the mining sector, which is currently providing about 1.5 million jobs, with the government seeking joint ventures with global mining companies.
