Africa-Press – Tanzania. THE Tanzania Electrical, Mechanical and Electronics Services Agency (TEMESA) has earned praise after rolling out an on-site motor vehicle inspection service for government offices within Dodoma District and the Dodoma City Council, a move expected to strengthen safety and prolong the lifespan of public vehicles.
The initiative allows government institutions to receive motor vehicle inspection services directly at their premises, reducing downtime, improving planning and ensuring that vehicles deployed for public service remain in good working condition.
Dodoma District Administrative Secretary (DAS), Ms Sakina Mbugi, who witnessed the exercise, said the service reflects TEMESA’s renewed commitment to customer-centred service delivery.
She said bringing the service to clients not only saves time but also enhances accountability by providing real-time information on the condition of government vehicles. Ms Mbugi urged TEMESA leadership to institutionalise the initiative so that it becomes a routine service within the agency.
“We commend TEMESA for this forward-looking step. Coming directly to the client shows dedication and helps our institutions detect mechanical issues early. We encourage you to sustain this service and integrate it into your operational systems,” she noted.
Dodoma Regional TEMESA Manager, Engineer Greyson Maleko, said the inspection covers all essential safety components, including brakes, tyres, lighting systems and electrical wiring to ensure vehicles meet national road safety standards.
“Our objective is to improve service delivery by bringing services closer to where they are needed. Early diagnosis of defects helps reduce the burden of costly repairs and keeps vehicles on the road for longer,” he added.
An official from the Dodoma City Council Transport Unit said the programme has given vehicle users and supervisors an opportunity to openly present the challenges they encounter in operating government vehicles, while benefitting from guidance provided by TEMESA experts.
The new service is expected to boost efficiency in the public sector by reducing mechanical breakdowns, cutting maintenance costs and strengthening the reliability of government transport services essential for day-to-day operations.
