TIC convened all public entities dealing with issuance of permits to discuss how they can ease bureaucracy to people willing to invest in the country .
The Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) has said from now on any person willing to inject finances in any investment in the country will be issued with all necessary permits and certificates within 14 days or less.
TIC Executive Director, Dr Maduhu Kazi said, the new development follows a directive by President John Magufuli issued on November 13 when inaugurating the 12th Parliament and insisted that all institutions responsible for issuing investment permits should easy bureaucracy to potential investors willing to invest in the country.
“I want any investor willing to inject finances to get all the necessary permits and certificates within fourteen (14 days) and for that reason I have decided to move the Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) from the Prime Minister’s Office to the President’s Office so that I can personally deal with all those causing unnecessary delays” he said.
In implementing the Presidents directive, on 2 December, 2020 Dodoma, TIC convened all public entities dealing with issuance of permits to discuss how they can ease bureaucracy to people willing to invest in the country. Apart from officials from TIC, the meeting was attended by officials from T Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), Ministry of Lands Housing and Urban Development, Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS), National Environmental Management Council (NEMC), Weight and Measures Agency (WMA), Tanzania Electricity Corporation (TANESCO), Labor Department, Immigration Department, Companies Registration and Licensing Agency (BRELA) and Workplace Safety Agency (OSHA)
Speaking after the meeting, TIC Executive Director said that all parties had agreed that people wishing to invest in the country should be issued with permits within 14 days or less.
He said all institutions involved in issuance of permits had agreed to use an electronic system in a bid to reduce days of issuance of all requisite investment documents.
“We will soon convene all ICT experts who will collaborate with officials from e-Government Authority (e-GA) in order to come up with a system that will help investors to lodge their applications and get
all necessary permits in less than 14 days,’’ said Dr Kazi adding that TIC wants to see investors getting the documents in between seven and 10 days.
Speaking at the occasion, TRA Commissioner General, Dr Edwin Mhede, said in the meeting, all parties had agreed to intensify communications in order to ease issuance of permits. Dr Mhede said the meeting equally agreed that CEOs of all public entities involved in issuance of permits should make quick decisions in an event they receive documents regarding investment.
"We also agreed that TIC will be the coordinator of training to staff and investors so that before they lodge their applications they get a broader understanding of what to do," he noted.
Land Commissioner, Nathaniel Nhonge said that for quick issuance of tittle deeds and land ownership certificates, the Ministry would ensure that the process does not go beyond 14 days.
NEMC Director General, Samuel Gwamaka said in implementing the President’s directive, the Council was preparing new guidelines that would facilitate smooth issuance of permits within 14 days.
