- Issues stern warning on electricity vandalisation
The District Commissioner of Longido district in the Arusha Region in Tanzania, Nurdin Babu, has sought the support of the authorities on the construction of the transmission link, which aims to link Tanzania and Kenya. The 400kV interconnection transmission line will connect bot countries. Babu also issued a stern warning to the residents of the border towns on the protection of electrical installations. He urged residents to cooperate with the construction workers and to desist from sabotaging the project.
“The government will not tolerate those who are sabotaging the project by destroying the infrastructure. All needed is to have the entire community benefit from this investment,” Babu said.
“Upon completion, the project is set to fuel development for the people of Tanzanian and Kenya. Even now, there are some of our people who have secured direct and indirect employment,” he added.
