Dar es Salaam. The parliament has directed the government to boost funding allotted for the execution of development projects so that the ministry of Natural Resources and tourism and its institutions can complete a projected number of projects by the end of the fiscal year 2023/24.
Parliament also instructed the government to establish the tourism Development Fund (TDF) and immediately halt the establishment of the escrow account in the tourism sector to prevent misuse of public funds and unaccountable utilisation.
The August House also directed the government to assist the National Housing Corporation (NHC) in realising its plan to waive value-added tax (VAT) on houses sold below Sh100 million instead of Sh50 million.
