Tanzania denies rights violation as World Bank halts tourism grant
The government of Tanzania says it does not violate the rights of its citizens. Government spokesperson Mobhare Matinyi says such allegations are baseless. This comes as the World Bank says it has suspended financing intended to develop tourism in the Ruaha National Park area due to allegations of killings, rape and forced evictions of the local Maasai. The Bank said the allegations, if true, breach its policies in the implementation of the project. Government spokesperson Mobhare Matinyi tells VOA’s James Butty that anyone relocated because of the project would be accorded all their rights.
