President Jakaya Kikwete is expected to arrive on Sunday in Singida for a two day official visit.
Tanzania’s President, Dr Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete
Singida Regional Commissioner (RC), Parseko Kone told reporters in his
office that President Kikwete is expected to arrive in Singida town from
Manyara region at about 12:00 noon.
According to a programme issued by the Singida Secretariat, the
President is scheduled to lay a foundation stone for a water project
being constructed at Mwankoko area outside Singida town the same
afternoon.
The RC said the project is estimated to cost a total of 31.5 bn/- upon
its completion in December this year, which will completely wipe out the
persistent water blues in Singida town. “Later in the evening, the
president is scheduled to address a public rally at Namfua Stadium in
Singida town,” RC Kone explained.
Dr Kone further said that the President will travel to Itigi in Manyoni
district the next day where he is expected to inaugurate the
construction work for Manyoni – Itigi – Chaya tarmac road. The 89.3km
road is constructed at a cost of 109.64bn/-.
The president will later travel to Manyoni town where he will inaugurate
the already built Isuna – Manyoni tarmac road and address a public
rally there.
The President will later that day (Nov 05) travel to Dodoma. Singida
region had been one of the first working stations for the president
during his early days of service in 1976 and since then it has become a
stronghold for the ruling party – CCM.
