Bagamoyo Port construction contract to be inked in June
The government will sign a contract with the developer of Mbegani Port in Bagamoyo will be signed in June, this year, the Works, Transport and Communications minister, Prof Makame Mbarawa said on Monday, April 23, 2018.
Requesting the Parliament to endorse a total of Sh4.2 trillion for the three sectors that fall under his docket for the financial year 2018/19, Prof Mbarawa said construction of Bagamoyo Port remained one of the government’s priority areas.
“Discussions between the government, the China Merchant Holdings International Limited and the Oman Investment Fund regarding some components on the contract are at an advanced stage,” he said, adding: “The discussion took long because we had to put Tanzania’s interests first during deliberations.”
The construction of Bagamoyo Port was initiated in 2013 during retired President Jakaya Kikwete’s administration.
Complete with its special economic zones, the project was then being estimated to cost at least $10 billion to ostensibly turn it into the largest Sea gateway in East Africa. It is being expected that actual construction will kick off between 2020 and 2021.
