Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>THE Deputy Minister of Livestock and Fisheries, Ms Pauline Gekul has issued a seven-day ultimatum to Ilala District Executive Director to clear a sum of 5bn\/-owed by the contractor of Vingunguti abattoir for completion of the project.<\/p>\n

Ms Gekul issued the ultimatum when she went to inspect the development of the project recently in Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

She said animals are currently being slaughtered in unsafe environment because the condition of most slaughter houses is not encouraging, citing that the Vingunguti abattoir is going to be a savior to the whole country, particularly Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DED should ensure the money is paid within seven days from (today) Friday for the job to be completed as per President John Magufuli\u2019s directive,\u201d said Ms Gekul.<\/p>\n

She emphasized that completion of the project should go hand in hand with the procurement of special vehicles for supplying meat.<\/p>\n

According to her, it will not make sense having a good abattoir while meat is still supplied in the butchers using \u2018boda bodas\u2019.<\/p>\n

She said Pugu auction will undergo major improvement to ensure the abattoir has access to a good and quality animal supply to cater for the demands of consumers.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Minister applauded the DED and contractor for the huge efforts being put in finalizing the project, urging them to speed up the construction.<\/p>\n

The Project Supervisor from the National Housing Corporation, Eng Efraim Phanuel pledged to ensure the project is completed by February if the minister\u2019s directive is implemented.<\/p>\n

Last year when the former Deputy Minister for Livestock and Fisheries, Mr Abdallah Ulega made a tour of the abattoir, he said the popular slaughter house will serve Dar es residents, neighbouring regions as well as importing meat to neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompletion of this facility will increase meat supply and sell outside the country, including in Arab nations,\u201d Mr Ulega said.<\/p>\n

Among other factors, the slaughterhouse is strategically positioned since it is located near the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA), which makes it easy to transport the meat.<\/p>\n

Mr Ulega encouraged local investors with capital to invest in cold storage facilities at the new abattoir, saying it will be another opportunity for investors.<\/p>\n

The new facility will have a capacity to slaughter 1500 cows and 1000 goats every day.<\/p>\n

The country has been spending over 10bn\/- on importing meat, but the deputy minister expressed hopes that the construction of the new abattoir will completely end importation of meat.<\/p>\n

This is despite the fact that Tanzania has a high population of cows and goats, totalling 35 million and 20 million, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
