With $11bn Bagamoyo port, Tanzania prepares to take on EA hub Mombasa

[VIKWAZO]

kwani lazima ijengwe nyingine wakati tuna bandari ya tanga na mtwara kwanini hizi bandari yasipanuliwe na kufanyiwa marekebisho kadhaa ili hizo pesa zingine zitumike katika kujenga nyumba za polisi ,walimu,madaktari na wanajeshi mukandala ulikua wapi ungemshauri dhaifu

hiyo ya mtwara kusafirisha nini bandari ya ukubwa huo? sio kweli kwamba wote tunauwezo wa kufanya planning, kama bandari inajengwa na hakuna wizi tatizo liko wapi? kwanza bandari ya msaada tunaweza jenga mtwara kwa kodi yetu, wachina waliotoa pesa wamerishika na bagamoyo ,
Bandari ya mtwara inahitaji uwekeza mkubwa sana kwenye miundombinu mingine kama barabara na reli lakini pia ukanda huo hauhitaji bandari ya ukubwa huo kwa sasa

Yak Wui Bong • What kind of ports are they building with $10 billion dollar?


George Xue • In accordance with the framework agreement, China Merchants Group will assist the Government with the overall planning, design, development, construction and management of Bagamoyo special economic zone development project and their supporting facilities (ports and highway etc.).


Michael Panosh • I've seen this $10bn figure in the press but second Yak Wui's question because that's a lot of money, even for a First World ports project.

Indeed, DP World's London Gateway project is priced in the £1.5bn range and that's to build a 3.5 million TEU container port and Europe's largest logistics park...and DP world is not spending this all at once!

Plus, the Bagamoyo Special Economic Zone is being touted at costing $300million by EPZA so even adding in the envisaged Mbegani Port project does not get us anywhere near $10B.

Finally, the World Bank put Tanzania's Gross Domestic Product at just under $24bn in 2011, so pumping $10bn into the economy is going to have to be done over many years, not as a single set of short-term construction projects.

Maybe it's meant to be 10bn Renminbi, which is a less eye-watering US $1.6bn? Or perhaps there are many, many other projects planned that will add up to $10bn over time? I'd hope so, because otherwise China Merchants Holdings International Limited is taking a serious slice of Tanzania!

kwa taarifa nilizonazo ni kwamba hiyo 10bilion$ sio kwajili ya ujenzi wa bandari tu ni pamoja na
1.bandari ya b'moyo
2.kujenga reli kutoka bagamoyo kuunganisha na reli ya kati
3.reli ya kati kuongezwa kipande ch DRC.
4.Kuiunganisha b'moyo na reli ya tazara
5.kujengwa reli kipande cha kwenda mchuchumaa,
6.kujenga pipeline ya gesi kutoka mtwara kwenda kwa b'moyo,
7.scholarships za uchina kuongezwa
hizo ni baadhi ya project 17 kwenye huo mkataba
