Challenges in Road Construction Projects Due to Compensation Issues

TLDR

• The Chief Executive Officer of TARURA, Engineer Victor Seff, has intensified monitoring of contractor CRC due to delays in road construction projects under DMDP II.
• During a recent inspection, TARURA noted improvements in some areas, including over 500 meters of the Tegeta road being concreted, but compensation issues still affect the remaining sections.
• Compensation payments for affected areas will begin after approval from the Chief Government Valuer is obtained.
• The contractor is facing challenges in securing sufficient equipment and experts for the projects, despite a 10 percent increase in implementation pace in Kinondoni.
• The contractor has requested an extension of the implementation period due to delays caused by asphalt availability and unpaid compensation areas, which will be assessed by the supervising consultant.
