Traders operating in the Kariakoo area of Dar es Salaam have announced the start of an indefinite strike beginning on June 24, 2024, until the challenges they face are resolved by the authorities.
This information, which has spread online through an announcement that provides instructions for the strike without mentioning the author of the message, calls for traders in the regions of Mbeya, Iringa, Mwanza, Arusha, Ruvuma, Kagera, and Rukwa to close their businesses starting June 25, 2024, indefinitely. They will be followed by traders in all regions of the country starting June 26, 2024.
The announcement indicated that there will be a task force to inspect all offices and businesses that have not closed to ensure that everyone joins the strike due to oppressive tax issues.
Martin Mbwana, the Chairman of the Kariakoo Traders Association, confirmed the strike to JamiiForums, stating that one of the reasons is the harassment by the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA).
