WABEBERU WANATUONEA: Tanzania’s president loves mega-projects. Careful planning, less so

The guy is even ordering government officials to move their operations to unfinished buildings with scaffolding in the new capital, Dodoma. This has been well highlited in this article
 
Sure, but we also need to agree that we have the barrier towards the real achievements of the country, we are not hunting for the unknown though we pretend to
Obvious, nothing comes easy, and who's pretending?!what's the reason for you to pretend then I live by the free mind, those are my opinions sir. I do respect yours too, don't get me wrong!!!!,if things are not okey, ,inappropriately,I will address,criticize or respond to it in a right way,I am not a yes man!!! a hypocritical person.
 
...thats why I said you are either a clueless character or just a plain dumb, chest thumping, keyboard armchchair general...

FYI: the following small/mid-zised hydro elec. dams are already operational: Mtera, Kidatu, Kihansi, Nyumba ya Mungu, Njombe (Mwenga) while Rusumo is still under construction.

The point I made in the earlier post is that, the total contribution of such small/mid-sized hydro elec. dams to to our national grid is very small compared to the forecasted huge demand partly attributed to our exponential population growth and largely due to our ambitious industrialisation vision 2025....

...instead of keeping yapping politiks in here, I suggest that you first go back to school, know your geography, know your country....

Sayonara.

Toka zako huko miradi yote ya kuzalisha umeme wa maji iliyoko njombe 3 hakuna hata mmoja ambao uko kwenye ujenzi ukiacha rusumo.
 
Utasubiri sana mkuu

Hakuna tabu, kumbuka kaisha anza kuomba poo, “kwenye utawala wangu, nitahakikisha matajiri wanaishi kama mashetani”

“Kwenye utawala wangu natamani kutengeneza mabilionea zaidi ya 100”
Hizi ni kauli za jiwe zilitolewa kipindi tofauti tofauti, ya kwanza ilikuwa kipindi ndiyo kwanza kawasha gari na ya pili ni baada ya kuona gari linatumbukia korongoni. Mimi naendelea kusubiri sana kama ulivyoshauri
 
You insults won't reverse the facts that stiglaz is a resource wastage project.Until yr poor economy reaches above 100bln gdp then u will be at a stage to consume at least 2000 megawt of electricity something which is just dream for yr dying economy
Remember Kenya with this level of gdp,more industrialised with you is yet to absorb 2000mgwt,the same to Ethiopia with burgeoning popn Sasa wewe ldc unafanya mradi costly kwa ku base kwenye hisia zenu za wizi afu unakuja kuropoka huku
Narudia revisit yr budget report for energy ministry u will find some proposed mid sized less costful and known project costs outlined there apart from the ones u mentioned,Sasa hizo miradi zingemake sense kuzitekeleza bcoz kwa pamoja zinge add more than 1000 mgwtt na zingetekelezwa fast na kwa reasonable costs kuliko stiglaz with unknown timeframe or project cost.
Hizo projects once completed zingefanya installed capacity kuwa zaidi ya mgwtt 2000 ambazo would take a decade to consume given yr low absorption capacity badala ya kuwa na wishful thinking.Tayari 5 yrs imepita the economy is struggling with no meaningful industries established,kwamba next 5 years mtafanya wonders ikiwa over 50 yrs you only capable to absorb less than 1000 mgwtt of electricity? You ding got the point?
 
Your self-hate, frustrations and noise in this platform won't stop Stieglers, or any other mega projects from taking place, the contractors are already at the sites, it is happening...

We simply don't have sympathy with people like yourself who don't want EAC countries to develop.

Few years ago, we started this KE forum so that we can have robust and productive and reasonable rivalry engagements on infra and economic developments projects with our northern neighbors and that is what we exactly have, and we all like it.

However, this was never meant to cater for politicized, folks like yourself who are full of self-hate. The appropriate platform for your kind is "Jukwaa la Siasa" let's meet there...
 
I like how the writer signs off... "One day, the only elephant left in the Selous may be a white one.. " If you know you know! Ni hayo tu kwa sasa
Atakaa sana kuona Tanzania yenye tembo wa kuchora mbugani

Kenya the situation is worse without even any meaningful reason but you won't hear anything from them.

 
Much as I try (and would love) to see a lie or a misrepresentation in this article, I fail to see any. Or maybe there's just one point; President Magufuli is not a trained engineer.

Ahaaa haaa haaa
Is this also a case (not a lie)?
...Tanzanian businessmen have been strong-armed into surrendering assets to the state. Tour operators and farmers complain of lower profits due to new taxes and rule change...

Mo Dewji and cashews come into mind...
 
Which assets, mo has surrendered to the state?

A number of sisal estates in Tanga. I can't help but notice that you silently acknowledged that the cashew nuts saga to be indisputable.
 
Absolutely. Angalia posts zilizotangulia post yako.

You comment as if you are not a mTanzania.
If you meet with this psychologically biased author, he will never separated you with the country.

About the sisal estate, do you know what terms and conditions where given to buyers?

I don't try to resolve problems by pretending that they don't exist.

That's irrelevant. I wouldn't have bothered if the same action would have been taken uniformly to all and sundry. But targeting only some few guys?
Another example; Why destroy Mbowe's farm (whose farm was given a clean bill of environment by the relevant authorities) but allow others to farm near the lake where the law prohibits it?
 
It's clear you didn't do literature in high school. What the writer meant here is totally different from what you saying. He used the word elephant in a very clever way to mean that Stiglers Gorge which is found in the Selous will be a white elephant. Inua aerial juu
 
Lol kwani kelele zote hizo za mabeberu ni nini point yao kama sio kulinda "African elephants sanctuary"?
 

It's better you stick to the question I asked. I repeat, give terms and conditions.

Typical ccm apologist. Terms and conditions were (or should have been) the same to all parties. That's why I told you they were irrelevant.
Now, respond to my observations. If you can; that is.
