The Head of Arusha District, Felician Mtahengerwa has warned the employees of the City of Arusha not to treat the council as a mistress farm but to increase the speed of revenue collection.

Dr. Mtahengerwa made the call during the session of the second quarter of the year 2022/23 of the Council of the City of Arusha.

He has said that some employees have been making the city like a grandmother's farm so they know that he knows all the areas and he wondered why the City of Arusha allocates a budget of 35 billion Shs per year when it has the ability to collect 100 billion Shs.

"Control the income but control the spending. It is impossible. People are competing to hurt the people. When I look at your groups, there are people competing for calling. Let's change the beauty. I know all the tricks in Arusha. Think about big things instead of thinking about small things."

He said that the city must now increase the speed of revenue collection and reach sh, 100 million or more but he also gave greetings to the politicians to provide education to the businessmen to do their business in the designated areas instead of damaging the good image of the city of Arusha by some of them selling their products in the areas unwanted
