At the Dar es Salaam passenger terminal, Prof Mbarawa expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the project implementation, but he urged local contractors to ensure the remaining work is completed according to the agreement.
“We can’t keep on promising citizens over the building. The management should be strong with proper supervision of the facility in the areas of cleanliness and renovation whenever it is damaged,” he said.
The minister directed TRC to ensure SGR services are offered at higher standards in order to increase confidence to Tanzanians.
At Kiposwa first electric cooling station, the minister insisted that the project’s remaining five percent should be completed in the next short period of time.
