KAGERA: KAGERA Regional Commissioner (RC) Ms Fatma Mwassa has appealed to religious leaders in the region and others across the country to offer their cooperation in restoring people’s morals, build good image and promote good governance.
“Religious leaders have a noble duty in moulding social unity. By preaching and encouraging a life based on values among your believers, corruption and other vices would be eliminated in the society which greatly affects the provision of services and justice in society,” she said.
Ms Mwassa made the remarks on Monday to mark during EID celebrations held at the Kaitaba Stadium in Bukoba Municipality.
Ms Mwassa assured the religious leaders that the government sees them as important stakeholders and appreciates their contribution in the implementation of its duties.
“The government would continue to provide cooperation to you when you need it,” she said.

“The doors are open, we welcome you at any time to give opinions, advice and suggestions to improve the provision of services and conflict resolution in the country,” she said.
Adding….”It is easy for people to to be educated in Churches and Mosques about the evils of committing crimes such as rape, drug use, murder, robbery and others and they can easily change their behaviour and thinking and eventually have a good society and reduce these acts, if not completely finished,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Kagera Regional Chairman under the National Muslim Council of Tanzania (BAKWATA), Sheikh Haruna Kichwabuta has urged Muslims to utilise the 40 days of fasting to change their lives and be exemplary to others in society.
“We have been given the responsibility to take care of other human beings especially those with disabilities and HIV/AIDS victims.
Harassment was unacceptable act in Tanzanian society, as it forbids human beings being despised,” he said
