PRIME Minister Kassim Majaliwa has directed ministers to review contracts that the country has entered with various countries through their ministries in order to identify areas which need to be completed and worked on.
He said it is important for the ministries with contracts' discussions with other countries to consider using experts with experience in the areas of discussion.
The PM issued the directives on Friday at the official closing of a working session with ministers, permanent secretaries and their deputies held in Dodoma Capital.
Mr Majaliwa stressed that President's Office Regional Administration and Local Government must abide by President Samia Suluhu Hassan's directives of ensuring that all councils in the country set realistic targets in revenue collections and come up with new sources of revenue.
"We should not just be proud of collecting 100 per cent of the target while we have set low estimations and there are opportunities of collecting more...full councils and executives must review all sources of revenue collections to see the amount collected per month to know whether they are realistic," he said.
The PM further directed Ministry of Finance and Planning to work on Africa poverty eradication strategy especially on Tanzanian side and identify available opportunities and strategies of exploiting them.
"You should speed up on this because the focus of President Samia on economy especially on agriculture is to stimulate Tanzanians to overcome poverty ...we should not lose this opportunity because it is beneficial to our country."
