The Government will not tolerate agencies that shall procure sub-standard contractor,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Representative of development partners participated in the meeting, Mr Ali Mwichande, said one of challenges in the transport sector was low participation of private sector, thus called for government invention to accelerate private sector involvement in the construction of transport infrastructures.<\/p>\n<p>During its presentation, the ministry urged development partners to continue with their valuable support to implementation of development projects in Transport sector.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020\/2021, transport sector focused on improving the transport infrastructures and operations towards promoting industrialization in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
