The Dodoma City Council director Godwin Kunambi says there has been an influx of land buyers and other people seeking to settle in the areas. The influx may be attributed to the decision by the government to shift its base from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, now the officials capital of Tanzania.

According to Mr Kunambi, there was massive stealing of internal revenue and that most of the city’s sources of income were unknown. ‘Revenue executives were also setting very low targets and the coll...
