The Minister for Works, Transport and Communication Prof Makame Mbarawa
Prof Mbarawa made the call when he inspected the project over the weekend in the city. While on site, the minister urged the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS) in Dar es Salaam to pay closer attention to the project so that it’s completed within the set time and to the expected standards.
He said legal actions will be taken against all officials found to delay or sabotage the road construction project.
“Your priority should be on quality and speed so that this important road section is completed within the projected time-frame,” Prof Mbarawa said.
In a related development, the minister went on to urge the Tanroads staff to ensure long queues at the various Weigh Bridge stations across the country are reduced.
He also urged them to curb corruption at all levels of the authority warning legal action against violators.
Speaking to executives of the Road Fund Board (RFB), Minister Mbarawa implored the need for the board to ensure that all the money allocated to local authorities is wisely spent and roads are built to required standards.
“The money allocated for those roads should meet the required standards. Value for money needs to be seen in these projects,” the minister stressed.
The RFB manager, Joseph Haule said his board is determined to ensure that all ongoing road construction works are to standard and are completed within set time frames.
