Diamond Platinum...
"Why are we delaying implementing Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies? We ask that we get a new Ministry of Technology so that we can keep up with the Twenty-First Century so can keep up with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. There is no way we can avoid this because that is when the time takes us" - Hon. Condester Michael Sichalwe, Member of Parliament for Momba province.
The Member of Parliament has continued to say that,
"We have an artist here Diamond Platinum who is a musician, if his works are placed on the NFT, it will be the best option.
Someone asks you how can he/she join BITCOIN. Can you ask someone a question like this, how do you start joining Tanzania shilling?
On Blockchain technology there are many things, there are Smart Contracts, lawyers, and artists for the NFT system
Just imagine CoinMarketCap, look at all the Cryptocurrencies listed there, are the people who are involved in these things supposed to be ignorant? No, they are not stupid, they have a broad understanding of Blockchain technology and Cryptocurrencies"
Also, the other hand; Member of Parliament for Momba Hon. Condester Sichalwe has advised the Government to have one Ministry dealing with Technology to increase efficiency in the area instead of Technology being managed by two Ministries where it is in the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology together with the Ministry of Information, Communication, and Information Technology.
Hon. Condester said this on May 17, 2023, in Parliament in Dodoma, while contributing to the Budget of the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology.
She has advised that the existing Technology is what pushes to change the curriculum, while he wants those Technologies to be used in good order in the country and be an opportunity for the Youth to get Jobs.
"Professor Mkenda ethics and exams, still the teachers have not wanted to improve their environment, still the students have not gone on strike and other things in this Ministry. When will Prof. Mkenda be struggling with his team to know that there are emerging technologies(Blockchain technology, Metaverse Web 3, NFT, Cryptocurrency) that are in the world that can help Tanzanians to be self-employed?"
