The Kinondoni Municipal Council in Dar es Salaam has initiated a programme to solve land disputes and has already received 314 cases from 20 out of 27 wards in the municipality.
The Municipal Mayor, Salum Londa said at the weekend his municipality has established a comprehensive system to deal with the problem of land disputes amongst the residents in the area and has called on anyone with a complaint to go to his office to file it.
Londa said the doors were open in every ward office and the exercise would resume today and end on June 2 this year and directed complainants to submit their phone numbers and photocopies of offers to enable his office to communicate with them when needed.
The wards which have received land disputes through the initiatives of the municipality and the total number of disputes in bracket were Bungu (10), Goba (8), Mbezi (9), Mwananyamala (12), Kijitonyama (11), Tandale (50), Kigogo (1), Ubungo (4), Kinondoni (3), Hananasif (3), Sinza (9), Mzimuni (6), Kunduchi (89), Kawe (41), Mikocheni (7) and Makumbusho (6).
The wards, which have not yet registered land dispute were Magomeni, Makurumla, Ndugumbi, Manzese, Mabibo, Makuburi and Mbweni.
On May 11 this year, President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete directed city and municipal councils countrywide to form probe committees to investigate double or multiple land allocations and submit reports to him within a month and to ensure that the officials did not cover up their past sins.
He directed that all the probe committees should include an official from Prevention of Corruption Bureau (PCB), a police official and an official from the national intelligence services.
