Tanzania has so far made gas discoveries of about 42 trillion cubic feet (tcf) in five onshore and offshore gas fields.
At present only Songo Songo and Mnazi Bay are producing gas for generating about half of power for the national grid.
“People should realise and appreciate the benefits of the discovery for development of this country in short time to come,” Mr Kikwete made the remarks at the weekend after meeting the Chief Executive Officer of British Gas (BG), Mr Chris Finlayson.
The British company is among multinational companies involved in exploration of natural gas and oil in Tanzania and his company has already made some discoveries at its Mzia wells in Mtwara Region, with tests on the wells flowing at a maximum rate of 57 million standard cubic feet (mscf) of natural gas per day.
According to a statement issued by the Directorate of Presidential Communications yesterday, Mr Kikwete noted, however, that statements by some politicians against development of the natural resources were among challenges that the government was ready to address.

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...
