Why it matters
This project represents a significant government effort to improve public servant welfare and address housing shortages in Tanzania.
DAR ES SALAAM: MIKOCHENI staff housing project has reached 80 per cent completion, with the government pressing for the 101-unit development to be delivered in October as demand for affordable homes among civil servants grows.
Deputy Minister in the President’s Office, Public Service Management and Good Governance, Ms Regina Qwaray, said the project reflected government efforts to improve public servants’ welfare by expanding access to quality and affordable housing.
“The project must be completed on time because there are civil servants who have already paid for these houses and are waiting to occupy them. At the same time, quality should never be compromised because it is what will build public confidence in our projects,” Ms Qwaray said during an inspection of the development.
