A stupid project which gobble over Tshs 10 T without solving power generation problems as mud, upstream irrigation and vagaries of precipitation will reduce output to a third of installed capacity just like Mtera, Kihansi and Kidatu.
Paradoxically, a lion's share of our power issues are not in generation but in poor transmission which leak at least a third of generated power.
You must be out of your mind to bury Tshs 10 T in the sand while 20% of that money is sufficient to do away with 95% of leakages during transmission.
A prudent politician would have begun tackling the power transmission losses instead of throwing money in an exercise in futility.
But myopic leaders with an eye to a quick buck claim Stigler's Gorge ni "mradi wa kimkakati".....
Misplaced priorities are signatures of a matured venal culture now domineering our wayward politics....
It's a dearth of quality leadership, that is our post independence curse, so far...
