WB gives Tanzania 45bn/- to improve UCAF services


By CHRISTOPHER MAJALIWA

The government has obtained 45bn/- from World Bank to facilitate Universal Communication Access Fund (UCAF), the House was told on Friday.

The Deputy Minister for Communication, Science and Technology, Mr January Makamba

UCAF was introduced to subsidize telecommunication companies in course of providing services in areas which were considered to have less business activities.

The Deputy Minister for Communication, Science and Technology Mr January Makamba said that there were some areas in the country with limited telecom services due to the fact that the companies were profit-oriented, thus before supplying the service they had to be satisfied with market stability.

However, he said that the government having seen how important it was to provide the services to all the people, did all it could to liaise with telecom companies through UCAF to ensure that all areas across the country were supplied with the services. Mr Makamba was responding to a question raised by John Chiligati (Manyoni East-CCM), who wanted to know the reason as to why many areas in the country including some areas in his constituency went without telecommunication services.

Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...
