In Tanzania, closeto 90 percent of tax revenues are generated by Dar-es-Salaam, yet the city contributes to less than 20 percent of the national GDP. Almosthalf of Tanzanian VAT revenues on domestic transactions are collected from three sectors (telecommunications, beverages, and cigarettes).There is a huge imbalance between the taxation on labor and capital income.Tax collection should be diversified to under-taxed sectors and regions…..Similarly, public recognition of high taxpayers can also incentivize payment.
Ila Nyerere alifanya hivyo si kwa sababu ya ukristo wake, ila kwa sababu ya itikadi iliyomwongoza, itikadi ya kijamaa. Ndiyo maana, baada ya kuwaona viongozi wenzake wanatumia nyadhifa zao kujitajirisha, aliasisi Azimio la Arusha, ambalo pamoja na mambo mengine liliwazuia viongozi kumiliki nyumba za kupangisha, kupokea mishahara miwili au zaidi na kumiliki hisa au kuwa wakurugenzi katika kampuni za kibepari. Kupitia Azimio la Arusha, njia kuu za uzalishaji-mali na rasilimali za taifa, kama viwanda, mabenki, misitu, madini, ardhi, njia na vyombo vya usafiri wa anga, reli na maji, viliwekwa mikononi mwa umma. Umma wa wanyonge ulichagua serikali kwa njia ya kidemokrasia, serikali ambayo ilipewa jukumu la kusimamia rasilimali hizo kwa niaba ya wanyonge.
