Chato has never been developed in terms of infrustructure and buildings like gbabolite. Its not even a fair comparison. Only people with sinister and vengeful motive against magufuli will dare make comparison between the two.Pata picha kwa speed hii, try to figure out, how will Chato be in 2035 after this heavy investment starting now if at all he will stay in power for 10 years, i hear a talk about textile factories but i read of gazetted GOT tenders about construction of an international Airport less than 140 km from what is soon to be Mwanza International Airport while Mtwara and Lindi with resources valued at over $400 bln that need over $30 bln worthy of investment; lays idle without the necessary infrastructure to support those massive investment projects i.e. mega LNG plant. A rival Mozambique has already built an international airport at Nacala to make the movement of poeple easier at both the Nacala port and Ruvuma basin where massive gas at over 160 Tcf compared to ours at 57 Tcf has been discovered!

Afterall the two are in contrast to amother. While gbadolite was a forest jungle chato is a place inhabited and much developed of government administration and governance compared to gbadolite.

No hakutabiri half way, alitabiri full term ya 10 years, hivyo alizungumzia 2035 na sio 2025!.
