The government has assured Members of Parliament from
the constituencies whose infrastructures have been badly damaged by rains that,
it will make repairs later on when the long rains are over, the deputy minister
for works, Transport and Communications has said. Elias John Kwandikwa said in
parliament last week in Dodoma during question and answer session that, the
government is yet to make an assessment of the losses caused by rains at this
time when rains are still pounding in various places in the country. However,
he noted that, the government will form a committee to evaluate losses caused
and after which will embark on the necessary repairs as soon as possible.

The
minister was responding a supplementary question which was raised by Nyamagana legislator
Stanslaus Mabula (CCM) who wanted to know plans by the government in making repairs
of the damaged roads in Mwanza city which have been caused by the long rains currently
going on in the country. Another supplementary question was raised by Joseph
Selesini (Chadema) who wanted to know when the government would pay compensation
to the people of his constituency Rombo whose structures had been earmarked to
pave the way for the construction of a tarmac road from Rombo to Mwaisola and
the deputy minister assured a
legislator that, the process of settling their payment is complete. Earlier,
the Arusha urban legislator Godless Lema (Chadema) raised a question with a
view to know if the government had paid a compensation to its people to pave
way for the construction of a great road
to be constructed from Arusha-Holili and
Taveta which is known as Arusha Bypass. In response, the deputy minister had
assured the legislator that already Tshs 21.1 bn/- had been paid to the 762
people and that an additional payment of compensation will be made later to
those who had their structured valued for the second time.
