TANGA \u2014 Serikali ya Tanzania imesema ujenzi wa Bomba la Mafuta la Afrika Mashariki (East African Crude Oil Pipeline \u2013 EACOP) umefikia asilimia 81 ya utekelezaji, ikisisitiza umuhimu wa kimkakati wa mradi huo wa kikanda unaounganisha maeneo ya mafuta ya Uganda na pwani ya Tanzania.<\/p>\n
Bomba hilo lenye urefu wa kilomita 1,443, litakalopitisha mafuta ghafi yaliyopashwa joto kutoka Magharibi mwa Uganda hadi Bandari ya Tanga kwa ajili ya kusafirishwa nje ya nchi, linatarajiwa kuwa na uwezo wa kusafirisha hadi mapipa 246,000 ya mafuta kwa siku. Ujenzi wa mradi ulianza mwaka 2022, huku shughuli za uendeshaji zikitarajiwa kuanza mwaka 2026.<\/p>\n
Akizungumza mkoani Tanga, Waziri Mkuu Mwigulu Nchemba alisema EACOP ni mojawapo ya miradi mikubwa inayochangia kwa kiasi kikubwa ajira, mapato ya serikali na ujumuishaji wa kiuchumi katika ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki.<\/p>\n
Waziri Mkuu alisisitiza kuwa serikali itasimamia kikamilifu utekelezaji wa kanuni za maudhui ya ndani ili kuhakikisha kampuni na wafanyakazi wa Kitanzania wananufaika moja kwa moja na fursa za manunuzi, ajira na huduma zinazotokana na mradi huo.<\/p>\n
Alionya kuwa kampuni zitakazobainika kutumia usajili wa majina ya Kitanzania kwa njia ya udanganyifu (proxy registration) ili kukwepa masharti ya umiliki zitachukuliwa hatua kali za kisheria.<\/p>\n
Tanzania inamiliki asilimia 15 ya hisa katika mradi wa EACOP, kwa ubia na Serikali ya Uganda pamoja na kampuni za kimataifa za nishati. Serikali imesema umiliki huo unaipa Tanzania nafasi ya moja kwa moja katika maamuzi ya kimkakati na mapato yatokanayo na mradi huo.<\/p>\n
Maofisa wa serikali wamesema maelfu ya ajira tayari zimezalishwa katika kipindi cha ujenzi wa bomba hilo, huku manufaa ya muda mrefu yakitarajiwa kujitokeza katika sekta za lojistiki, huduma, upanuzi wa bandari na miundombinu ya usafiri.<\/p>\n
Hata hivyo, mradi huo umekumbwa na upinzani kutoka kwa baadhi ya makundi ya wanaharakati wa mazingira wanaoeleza wasiwasi kuhusu athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi na hatari kwa bioanuai. Serikali za Tanzania na Uganda, kwa upande wao, zinautazama mradi huo kama uwekezaji mkubwa wa kimkakati unaotarajiwa kuongeza mapato ya umma, kuimarisha miundombinu ya kikanda na kuchochea maendeleo ya kiuchumi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
