Background: PRESIDENT NYERERE OPENED TANZANIA'S NEW PARLIAMENT IN DAR ES SALAAM YESTERDAY (TUESDAY) AND IN A SPEECH OUTLINED NEW POLICY.

IN THE MORNING, PARLIAMENT MET TO SWEAR IN MEMBERS AND TO ELECT A SPEAKER AND DEPUTY SPEAKER. MANY MEMBERS WERE TAKING THEIR PLACES IN PARLIAMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

THE PRESIDENT IN HIS SPEECH HAD A WORD OF ADVICE FOR THEM. HE SAID THAT BEING AN MP WAS NOT JUST A QUESTION OF HOLDING PUBLIC MEETINGS AND GIVING MAGNIFICENT SPEECHS. THEY MUST BOTH LISTEN TO PEOPLE AND WORK WITH THEM, TRAVEL CONSTANTLY AND DISCUSS THE AFFAIRS OF THE NATION, THE REGION AND THE VILLAGE.
