The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania | Xinhua | Tanzanian immigration authorities on Tuesday announced a week-long country-wide crackdown on illegal immigrants.
The commissioner general for the Tanzania Immigration Services Department, Anna Makakala, told a press conference in Morogoro region that the force will leave no stone unturned in detecting the aliens.
Makakala warned Tanzanians against involvement in human trafficking, saying culprits will face the full force of the law.
“Tanzanian human traffickers are hugely contributing to the rising number of illegal immigrants that enter into the country without valid travel documents,” said Makakala shortly after she had inaugurated a workshop for the Tanzania Immigration Services Department.
She said the immigration authorities have secured a permit to employ 820 new immigration officials that will play a major part in cracking down on illegal immigrants in the future.
