Mbeya Regional Commissioner Albert Chalamila.
He said the decision not to bar tricycle ‘Bajaji’ vehicles from operating in the city centre was taken on the consideration that it has provided employment to a good number of youths.
He threatened to revoke licenses of commuter bus drivers if they continue with the strike, ordering government-owned vehicles including those used by security organs to carry passengers to various destinations across the region.
