The government has directed contractors assigned to
accomplish all electrification projects in rural areas under Rural Energy
Agency (REA) to report in their respective sites to keep going the electrification
process in rural areas in the country. Either the government has issued a stern
warning to contractors who will fail to accomplish their assigned project on
time and a failure for that will have their contracts revoked without. Either
deputy minister has directed all contractors to give priority all government’s
institutions at their sites and directed all district council authorities to
closely follow this.
Subira Mgalu
The directives have been issued in parliament early this
week by the deputy minister for Energy Subira Mgalu during question and answer
session. The minister was responding questions raised by legislators the majority
of whom had complained of the slow moving pace of the REA projects in villages which
are within their constituencies. Earlier the legislator for Mbulu rural Flatei
Gregory Masay had raised a question and wanted to know why is it that in Mbulu
rural area with 76 villages, only 12 out of these have been connected with
electricity and wondered when the rest will be completed. Responding to the
question, the minister noted that, the government has put in its strategic
plans to complete electrification process to all villages at this time when the
government embarks on the implementation of REA III projects.
