Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba visited Mwanza and basically told people to stop trashing other citizens' stuff during protests. He checked out damage from post-election chaos and heard from locals like Asha Athumani, whose tiny business kiosk got wrecked by rioters. The PM hit up ward offices and a mattress factory that took damage and said nobody gets to exercise rights by destroying someone else's property.
Nchemba warned Tanzanians not to fall for activists pushing disorder and suggested economic rivals might be trying to destabilize the country's development and mineral wealth. He reminded everyone that the president already gave amnesty after the violence and said the government will keep running things by the constitution, while citizens need to use proper channels for complaints.
Regional Commissioner Said Mtanda confirmed Mwanza sent a damage report to the PM's office and met with victims to explain the government's position on protecting residents and their property going forward.
