TANZANIA PRIME MINISTER TASK TARURA TO FOLLOW PRESIDENT INSTRUCTION

Prime Minister of Tanzania Kassim Majaliwa has directed the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TARURA) to follow the directive of the President when it comes to adopting cost-effective technology for some construction works.

During the opening of a working session between the President’s Office Regional Administration and Local Government, Majaliwa said TARURA should learn on how they can use the technology in executing road projects in Mainland, because it is more cost-effective and implanted with high standards.

He further stated that the government has made various efforts to increase capacity of TARURA so that it can execute its responsibilities, among others increasing its budget from 247.5bn/- in 2017 when it was established to 752.61bn/- estimated as an increase of 204,3%

Prime Minister has instructed the Office of the President – PMO-RALG to monitor and take appropriate measure against all Councils that fail to implement road maintenance in accordance with Annual Performance Agreement.

He also ordered TARURA to start fixing streets with lights in their road construction programmes and make sure the scheme borrows a leaf from TANROADS, who are already implementing it. While also telling TARURA to involve Council, District and Regional executives when preparing project reports, adding that the feedback should also be provided to the authorities in the hierarchy.
