The government of United
Republic of Tanzania has never had any plan to evict the Maasai people from
their ancestral land as falsely reported by the media in recent days. The
information circulated through the media outlets globally was misleading,
malicious and meant to tarnish the image of our country and her international
standing.
The Minister of
Natural Resources and Tourism, Hon. Lazaro Nyalandu said that the claims that
40,000 Maasai were being evicted are false unfounded and baseless. The argument
that the land in question is being sold to a wealthy Middle Eastern family is a
total fabrication and in contrary to the Tanzanian law.
Members of
Parliamentary Standing Committee on Land, Natural Resource, and Environment are
due to visit the Loliondo area to bear witness to the government position and
speak directly to the Maasai people. The Minister, Lazaro Nyalandu will also be
leading a team of government officials and Media Houses to visit Ngorongoro in
the next few days.
