The Kariakoo Market Corporation was established by the Government in October 1974 by an Act of Parliament which was passed to become The Kariakoo Market Corporation Act’’, No.36 OF 1974.
The Corporation was established mainly with two objectives, one being to control and manage the Kariakoo Market plus any other market whose control shall be vested in the Corporation. Secondly, to establish other markets in the city of Dar es salaam, control and manage them. Very unfortunate, the Corporation has today only achieved the control and managing of the Kariakoo market, because is the only market which is under control. The Corporation is yet be handed with other hands market within that could have assisted the Kariakoo markets. There had been plans to build new wholesale market had forced the Corporation to drop the plans.

By being commercial and service oriented and service entity, the Kariakoo Market corporation charges for its facilities to derive the much needed revenues, and give expected basics service to employee through its departments.
Perhaps some of you may wonder as to why the corporation is named Kariakoo market corporation and straight away, sounding in Kiswahili ’’……. Shirika la Masoko ya Kariakoo…..’’ whereas only it owns one market?
Historically, at the time of enacting the Kariakoo market corporation Act, in the year 1974 The First Board of Directors, deliberately opted to this name than otherwise. The reason behind this decision of having name with plurity, is the fact that Act which established the corporation provided mandate for the corporation to construct and manage other markets in addition to the Kariakoo market.
