Tanzania Prioritizes Road Rehabilitation and Contractor Fund Releases

Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba stated that the government is prioritizing the repair of deteriorating economic roads in Tanzania. He noted that the poor condition of these roads threatens over 40 trillion Tanzanian Shillings invested in the national road network. The immediate repair effort targets major highways connecting Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Singida, Shinyanga, and Mwanza. Additionally, the government is prioritizing the release of funds to contractors who suspended work or have not received advance payments.

The government is addressing infrastructure decay, which threatens significant national investment in the country's road network. The focus on repairing key transport links, including those near Dodoma and Shinyanga Region, aims to maintain transport connectivity and economic activities. Releasing funds to contractors also supports ongoing construction activities across the country.
