For a vendor who receives a large quantity of fish order they will spend less time preparing it without hurting hands,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Ng\u2019unda who is currently working on the best ways to improve the appliance says the machine simplifies the acquisition of all the raw materials thus increasing the income of the entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p>He extended gratitude to Tanzania Automotive Technology Centre (TATC)\u2013Nyumbu in Kibaha and teachers at St Joseph\u2019s for their mentorship in the production process who in one way or another assisted in realising the innovations, until completion it has cost him about 5m\/-.<\/p>\n<p>Expounding further he said it took him more than six-month researching to determine the size, the shape of the fish and after that, it took two months to do the designing, within one month they were able to finish it.<\/p>\n<p>Ng\u2019unda who has a dream to own a fish processing factory said the biggest challenge in the country was the availability of raw materials but they have to use the available raw materials to come up with the machine in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>He said the discovery of the machine means that Tanzania has people capable of producing a variety of machines to simplify work, also, the beauty of local designers is that they know the end-user instead of relying on foreign ones.<\/p>\n<p>The young innovator said the government has commenced providing support through Higher Education Students\u2019 Loans Board (HESLB), provides funding for design.<\/p>\n<p>Ministry of Education, Science and Technology will spend 750m\/-on improving innovation and technology of 70 finalists at this year\u2019s national competition for science, technology and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Minister for Education, Science and Technology, Mr William Ole Nasha committed while announcing the 2020 National Competition of Science, Technology and Innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The government, he said, acknowledges a lot of innovation projects are undertaken by talented young people in the country that if adopted would spur economic development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: HILDA MHAGAMA AfricaPress-Tanzania: NECESSITY is the mother of all inventions; Fish processing machinery designed by a young Engineer, David Ng\u2019unda certainly embodies that phrase.
