 Tourism and Natural Resources Minister Lazaro Nyalandu yesterday condemned Kenya’s decision to bar Tanzanian registered tour vans from accessing the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

A few years ago, Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda promised the nation that the government would stop purchasing expensive vehicles such as Toyota Land Cruisers as part of efforts to reduce government spending. We were told that the government would from the 2010/11 financial year not procure Land Cruisers and similar vehicles, and would instead opt for cheaper and fuel efficient cars like the Toyota RAV4

Import duty on new vehicles should be reduced to make the products affordable to many middle-income earners, a manager has said.

>The government yesterday pleaded with Tanzanians, tour operators, and tourists, in particular, to remain calm as it seeks negotiations with Kenya on the fate of Tanzanian tourist vehicles to access Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
