Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>SINGIDA airport is among the infrastructures earmarked for expansion via the World Bank\u2019s Transport Sector Support Programme (TSSP), the National Assembly was told yesterday.<\/p>\n

Works and Transport Deputy Minister, Mwita Waitara made the remarks in the National Assembly yesterday when responding to a question by Singida West Member of Parliament, Elibariki Kingu.<\/p>\n

The minister wanted to know when the government would begin construction of Singida regional airport so that Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) could introduce flights to the region. In response, the Deputy Minister said Singida airport together with other airports of Lake Manyara, Musoma, Songea, Kilwa Masoko, Tanga, Iringa, Njombe, Lindi Moshi, Njombe and Simiyu have been lined up for expansion through the programme.<\/p>\n

Waitara said after feasibility studies and detail designing, the government is now set to begin the construction process in phases, considering that the required budget was higher than the annual allocated funds.<\/p>\n

The minister further noted that the government through the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS) will begin construction of the airports, including that of Iringa and Singida.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction of the airports will begin when the government will have the funds, because currently the government is searching for funds from donors to ensure that the projects begin,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The minister requested the legislator to have patience as the government was working on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
