NOTICE: Denying Information Written By magazine of Raia Mwema About extension of licenses hunting blocks Without Follow Procedures

Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism denies a written statement to the newspaper Citizen Issue. 494 (ISSN 1821-6250) on Wednesday January 25 to 31, 2017 with the headline "Minister Maghembe trouble". The article states that the Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism, Prof. Tuesday Maghembe owes prolong licenses for hunting blocks of the company as opposed to hunting regulations.

In addition, the information minister said on Tuesday that he did not follow the procedure laid down in Article 38 (6) of the Act and the Wildlife Conservation. 5 of 2009 which establishes the procedure to be followed before the minister has not issued the license renewal. Pa, the information states that the act seeks announced in newspapers procedure for applicants requesting blocks together and evaluated.

Similarly, the information states that the minister should be advised by an entity that is what the company is assessing. The statement reported that previously there was a committee to advise the minister which was dissolved in 2012 by the former minister of the Ministry, Khamis Kagasheki thus questioning the legitimacy to make decisions without consulting the vase.

This information is not true, because the Minister did not give ownership of licenses for new blocks but has extended the period of ownership of the blocks in accordance with section 38 (8) of the Act and the Wildlife Conservation. 5 in 2009 consistent with the principles of the 16 Code of Hunting Tourism of 2015. Rules that describes the procedure of extending the tenure of the blocks to those who requested to continue to hold the blocks previously (Renewal of the hunting block).

Minister before extending the tenure of the blocks (Renewal) invited applications for those wishing to be extended to the ownership of blocks owned by you in accordance with the rules listed above letter Ref. Na. CHA.79 / 519/47 dates 22 April, 2016. In addition these applications were reviewed by the Advisory Committee for allocation of hunting blocks which legally exist and was appointed September 2013, against the author claims that the Committee does not exist. After evaluation of these applications, the committee I asked him to minister in accordance with the law.

In accordance with the procedure linked in Article 38 (8) and (9) of the Wildlife Conservation Act, the Act gives the Minister authority to prolong the tenure of the blocks (Renew of the hunting blocks). Regulation 16 sub-regulations (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (7), (8), (9) and (10) of the Code of Hunting Tourism offer procedure followed while extending the ownership of blocks of hunting for another term and the same procedure is followed.

In considering such a mechanism, the current owners of the blocks as required by Code, the Ministry had submitted their applications. Wildlife reviewed these applications and submit to the Advisory Committee on the allocation of hunting blocks. The Committee reviewed the application on 26 to 27 July 2016 and on 13 January 2017. Thus, after the completion of all procedures and committee submitted its advice to satisfy Hon. Minister.

Article 38 (6) of the Wildlife Act which he called the author of the paper, explains the procedure of allocation of blocks for new applicants and not those who seek to continue to hold the blocks for another season (Renewal).

Inflating the period of ownership of hunting blocks followed the law, rules and regulations, so we woamba citizens ignore that information as the author intended to corrupt public quoting and interpreting the provisions of the Wildlife Conservation Act incorrectly.
