Further funds will be provided for reinforcing power lines and stations in the capital.

The Japanese Ambassador to Tanzania, Masaki Okada, emphasized the importance of the expansion of the Bagamayo road for reducing traffic congestion and stimulating economic activity in a recent statement.

The Bagamayo road project is being constructed by the Konoike Company at a cost of 91bn/- and is approximately 13 kilometres.
