The government of
Tanzania has accomplished setups of essential infrastructural requirements for
commencement of the China government funded 20-billion shillings project for
construction of Bukoba Regional Vocational Training and Service Centre (VETA
Bukoba), the regional vocational training centre for Kagera.
Tanzania government
was required to do some groundwork including improvement of the road towards
the site, building structures for electricity and water and ensuring connection
of the same to the site before the China government engages a contractor for
construction of the planned vocational training centre.
The Minister for
Education, Science and Technology Prof. Joyce Ndalichako declared
accomplishment of the task on Saturday, 26 January 2019 when she inspected the
site at Burugo area during which she also inaugurated the mini and temporary
water source constructed by Bukoba district authorities in collaboration with
the Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA).
Speaking after
inauguration of the water source, Prof. Ndalichako said that the government has
done its part and now hopes for quick procurement of contractor and thereafter
construction to start soon as the people of Kagera have been eagerly waiting to
see the training centre completed.
“I believe the procurement of the constructor
will be accomplished immediately so that the construction starts. The Kagera
people have been waiting for their regional VETA centre for a long time. The
road was poor, we have improved it, there was no electricity now we have
connected, there was no water but today I have launched this water source meant
for construction activities. That means all of the tasks which the government
was supposed to do before commencement of the construction work have been
accomplished,” she said.
She expressed
appreciation for the efforts done by VETA and Bukoba district officials to
facilitate construction of the road, structures for power connection and for
tapping water from the natural source.
Also she thanked
people residing around the site for the cooperation which they have shown
during construction of those initial structures and asked them to continue with
the same spirit as the project is for their benefits
