SINGIDA Regional Commissioner (RC), Parseko Kone has expressed disappointment over onion traders who keep on complaining about government’s failure to create conducive business environment for them.

Dr Kone told the ‘Daily News’ here over the weekend that the regional authorities have put in place supportive business strategies through construction of markets in Mudadi, Mwasunya and Khanoda wards to promote onion trading.

“Actually, it is disappointing to hear that government is not doing enough and would like to challenge those who feel that they are not supported to visit other areas and see for themselves,” said Dr Kone.

He reminded onion dealers all over Singida Region that the regional government has already put in place bylaws to control illegal packaging and they ban foreign businesspeople from going straight to farmers but, instead, buy the commodities from the markets.

Dr Kone said that the onion businessmen were the first line of defence against smuggling, illegal packaging and any sort of mischief as leaders are not everywhere.

He added that they should not expect a district council executive director to come and expose those dealing in illegal packaging as they were among themselves.

The regional authorities went on to advise onion businessmen to equip themselves by introducing packaging materials from their initiatives rather than depending on the government for everything.

Abdallah Shila, an onion trader, said that the regional authorities failed to properly construct Misuna Onion Market by putting in place materials that facilitate easy loading and offloading of commodities as many trucks get stuck in the mud.



In support, another businessman, Elisante Shayo, thanked the former Singida District Council executive director because he initiated the market, but is worried by the current DC who never goes to meet them and listen to their grievances
