Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

local industries are plagued by quality, pricing and pollution issues

dangote imports coal from South Africa

local coal is expensive and produces too much pollution

road transport costs are by afar outweigh all coal local production costs

so integration of local manufacturing base will much depend upon what happens to the transportation sector

dangote may access local gas but someone has to furnish the outlay

even local gas though cheaper but costs are likely to escalate over time

intransigence to reform tax regime will ultimately decimate our local manufacturing base

we need to parse out the real impact of tax regime to our manufacturing base

until railway and shipping is in place covering the whole nation we may as well forget even talking about industrialization

in fact TANROADS is a serious threat to our industrialization

TANROADS has siphoned off most money which should have gone to create a durable railway and shipping line network

the official graft within TANROADS remain intact and past and present political leadership is toothless to root it out

In the last general election, the politicization of TANROADS helped the new regime to capture power

it is a small wonder, the TANROADS bosses have now been placated with plum government jobs

despite kilometer costs of road construction to escalate to between five to ten times of what our northern neighbour incur the iron broom to clean up the cobwebs there has spared graft munchers at TANROADS

the conspiracy involving TANROADS and contractors to oil the CCM presidential and parliamentary effort remains murky and difficult to evaluate

most studies involving public sector official graft are being misled by overdependence on victims' complaints

health and police tops any graft list because the victims have a motive to complain

but TANROADS and TRA the victim is the government and the beneficiary are public servants and clients who have every reason to hide their felonies
