There are no plans to reduce taxes on oil to address the growing economic hardships facing the people, the minister of Finance, Mustapha Mkulo said yesterday.
He was responding to questions from journalists on how he planned to relieve the economic hardships currently being faced by the people.
Mkulo quoted biblical phrases which say: "Every man shall eat by the sweat of his brow," and "Knock on the door and it shall be opened to you," apparently to stress individual efforts, saying wananchi should not expect the government to bail them out of the current problems.
He said the present economic hardships were not the making of anyone in the country, but a result of the current world problems.
"It is not only in Tanzania where people are facing difficulties," he said, adding that even in rich countries, people are facing serious economic hardships, with some turned into beggars.
