Rural women, in particular, have continued suffering debilitating poverty occasioned by\u00a0retrogressive cultural practices and the politics of marginalisation,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Baaitani said the decision for investment was made with his wife, Dr Jessica Baaitaini, who was based in the USA, following a call made by President John Magufuli for the diaspora to return home and invest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We thank President Magufuli for his bold action to improve social services, including health, education and the infrastructure. This is an example to be emulated and we fully support him. The project is estimated to cost about 4bn\/-,&#8221; he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that for the last 10 years Cosad Tanzania had been supporting the government through preventive care services and by constructing community libraries\u00a0in Muleba, Bukoba Rural and Bukoba Municipal Council.<\/p>\n<p>Kibira Plaza Managing Director Mwesiga Kibira explained that &#8220;Bukoba Centre for Arts&#8221; \u00a0would be a multipurpose facility providing conference halls, offices and cultural exchange programmes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news\">\n<div class=\"item\">\n<div class=\"item-image-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: KAGERA Regional Commissioner (RC), Brig Gen Marco Gaguti has welcomed both local and foreign investors to invest in the region and assured them of government support.
