Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner, Mr Amos Makalla has formed a special taskforce to probe early morning fire outbreak at the Karume Market in the city.
He said on Sunday, January 16, 2022 shortly after visiting the marketplace that: “the taskforce will be led by Ilala District Commissioner and it will work for 14 days to establish the details and bring light on the root cause of the accident.”
