STATEMENT BY H. E. JAKAYA MRISHO KIKWETE, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA,
AT THE 62ND SESSION OF THE UNITED NATIONS

GENERAL ASSEMBLY, NEW YORK,
27th SEPTEMBER 2007

Your Excellency Srgjan Kerim, President of the United Nations General Assembly;
Your Excellency Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations;
Excellencies Heads of State and Government;
Distinguished Representatives;
Ladies and Gentlemen.

Let me begin by congratulating you, Dr. Kerim, for your well deserved election as President of the 62nd Session of the General Assembly. You can
count on Tanzania’s full support and cooperation as you discharge your mandate. I also commend your predecessor, Madam Shaikha Haya Rashed Al Khalifa, for having skillfully presided over the 61st session.
We congratulate Mr. Ban Ki-moon for his unanimous election as the eighth Secretary General of the United Nations, which reflects his distinguished diplomatic track record, integrity and commitment to international diplomacy.
I also thank him for the honour and trust he has bestowed upon my country, by appointing an accomplished Tanzanian academic and diplomat to the post of UN Deputy Secretary General. I take this opportunity to once again congratulate Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro, for her appointment to this high office. I trust that such a combination of diligence and devoted leadership will steer this important institution towards greater heights of success.

Climate Change
Mr. President;
I highly commend the Secretary General for his decision to convene the High Level Event on Climate Change four days ago. The meeting gave us an opportunity to discuss the state of health of our common planet. It also gave us the opportunity to renew our commitment to take the necessary steps to correct the mistakes we have done.
The recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has confirmed that warming of the earth’s climate system is indisputable and is attributable to, by and large, human activities.
Africa and many Small Island States contribute the least to the greenhouse gases that cause this phenomenon; yet, significant impact of climate change is evident on our countries. Most countries are experiencing severe floods, frequent and prolonged droughts, reduced water supply, decline in crop yields, rising sea levels, and an increase in water borne diseases. These impacts of climate change can affect African countries’ ability to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Climate change threatens to undo the results of decades of development efforts.
In Tanzania, for certain, the impact of global warming is real and visible. There has been a steady increase in temperature for the past 30 years, adversely affecting almost all sectors of the economy.
Severe droughts have been recurrent in the past few years. Water levels in Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika have dropped significantly. There has been a dramatic recession of 7 km of Lake Rukwa in the Western part of the country in the past 50 years. About 80 per cent of the glacier on Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest in Africa, has been lost since 1912.
We have prepared a National Adaptation Program of Action. There is a national programme of planting over 200 million tree seedlings per annum besides having reserved 24 percent of our territory for national parks and 38 percent for forest reserves.
We trust that countries like Tanzania, which have reserved such large tracts of land for protection of wildlife and forests, including an ambitious tree planting programme for global good, would be adequately compensated for their significant contribution to carbon sequestration.
We have prepared a National Adaptation Program of Action (NAPA) and undertaken an indepth analysis of the impact of climate change on agriculture, health, water as well as a technological needs assessment for adaptation and poverty reduction.
Tanzania hopes that the Climate Change Adaptation Fund would be successfully negotiated and concluded together with other proposed innovative sources of financing discussed during the High Level Event earlier this week.

Mr. President;
Since the causes and consequences of climate change are global, international cooperation and partnership in addressing them is imperative. Tanzania supports the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which assists developing countries to achieve sustainable development and requires developed countries to fulfill their commitments under the Kyoto Protocol.
So far Africa has the least number of CDM projects. Of the over 800 projects around the world, Africa has about 20 projects only. This inequitable distribution is of concern to us and must be resolved in order for it to contribute meaningfully to the sustainable development of Africa.
I wish to emphasize that international collective action is critical in developing an effective response to global warming. Indeed a review process to consider further commitment of the Parties under the Kyoto Protocol beyond 2012 is urgent and necessary. Tanzania promises to participate actively at the Bali Summit.

UN Reforms/One UN
Mr. President;
Tanzania welcomes the recent milestones in the UN reform process namely the establishment of the Peace Building Commission, the Human Rights Council and the Central Emergency Relief Fund. We attach great importance to these new initiatives and we want to contribute to their success.
In its report of November 2006 entitled, “Delivering as One”, the UN Panel on System-wide Coherence made valuable recommendations, including the establishment of a “One UN” system at the country level. For, we in Tanzania, believe that the development coordination agenda is best served when we have at the country level one programme, one budgetary framework, one leader, and one office.
Tanzania is pleased to be among the eight “One UN” pilot countries. The One UN Programme is for us a logical development from the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), a framework that is fully aligned with our national priorities. The efficiencies in aid delivery expected through “One UN” will certainly contribute to enhancing our capacity to attain the MDGs.
I call upon member states to give our organization, the United Nations, the resources it needs to implement this pilot project. The project should not fail for lack of resources. I also urge the Bretton Woods Institutions to take a keener interest in this initiative and join in the efforts to realize its objectives.
The need to make the UN Security Council more representative is an age old demand of all of us. Time has come to walk the talk. We need to move from rhetoric to action. Now is the time. Tanzania assures the entire UN membership our whole-hearted support and cooperation in this process.

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
Mr. President;
We are now halfway through the time-line of 2015 set for achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Yet we are not half-way in realizing the targets as spelt out at the Millennium Summit of 2000. We are in this unfortunate state of affairs because the additional resources expected and promised by the developed countries have not come forth. I urge this august General Assembly to renew its appeal to the developed nations to deliver on their promise.
In this regard, we welcome the initiative mentored by the Norwegian Prime Minister Mr. Jens Stoltenberg to launch a global campaign to mobilize resources for achieving the MDG 4 on reducing infant mortality rates and MDG 5 on reducing maternal mortality rates. Tanzania supports the effort and we are happy to be associated with it. I appeal to all of us to support the initiative. It is our hope that, developed nations will support the campaign by providing the required resources.
On the same vein, we commend Secretary General Ban Ki-moon for establishing the African MDG Steering Group. Africa is excited about it. We trust that it will give new impetus in assisting Africa attain all MDGs.
We also welcome the historic decision taken by the President of the General Assembly to convene a special summit of leaders to discuss the MDGs during this session. We support this wise decision of our President for we believe it will provide the needed momentum for the timely achievement of the MDGs in Africa.
Regional Issues: Africa
Mr. President;
Tanzania has played, and will continue to play, its historic role in the search for peace, security, stability and development in Great Lakes region. I thank the United Nations and the Group of Friends of the Great Lakes for their support to the processes of the International Conference on the Great Lakes. As we all know, at the Nairobi Conference held in December, 2006, an historic Pact on Peace, Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region was signed. A new era of hope, collective security and cooperation for development was ushered in. For sure, if the letter and spirit of the Pact are implemented, the Great Lakes Region will be a completely new place from the one we are used to know.
We are happy that member states have committed to ratify the Pact by the end of this year. This will enable the Pact to come into force. We look forward to continued support from the UN, friends of the Great Lakes and the international community at large as we endeavour to get durable peace, stability and sustainable development.
Mr. President;
Burundi and DRC
We are happy with the tremendous progress made in Burundi. Peace has been restored and life has come back to normal. Tanzania will continue to work with the region and South Africa to ensure the full operationalization of the peace agreement signed between the Burundi government and the FNL-Palipehutu.
We are concerned with the fluidity of the situation in North Kivu. We hope wisdom will prevail on the parties concerned to give peace a chance. The people of the DRC deserve it. We in Tanzania promise to play whatever part may be required of us.
With restored peace in Burundi and many parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), it is incumbent upon us in the international community to encourage and assist refugees to go back to their respective countries. This is what the Tripartite Commissions involving Tanzania, UNHCR and the respective countries of Burundi and DRC have been doing. Our joint Commissions have been encouraging repatriation of refugees on voluntary basis and we have been assisting those who came forward. The results are encouraging but things could be better. A word of encouragement from this organization could make a difference.
Mr. President;
Tanzania believes that the return of refugees to their country of origin is a sovereign right which should not be denied. It is also the ultimate testimony and guarantor of the peace so attained. It is not fair, it is not right for people to continue to live in refugee camps after peace has been restored in their countries of origin.
Situation in Darfur
Mr. President;
The current progress with regard to Darfur gives us hope. The adoption of Security Council Resolution 1769 to deploy a hybrid force of peacekeepers from the African Union and the United Nations, and the renewed political dialogue among the parties to the conflict, holds promise for the stalled peace process and the humanitarian crisis that unfortunately persists there.
Tanzania applauds the unique partnership which has evolved between the African Union and the United Nations. We stand ready to contribute troops to the hybrid force.
Somalia
Mr. President;
We are encouraged by recent developments with regard to internal political dialogue in Somalia. We are equally happy with the attention given to Somalia by the Security Council and the United Nations Secretary General. We welcome the recent Security Council resolution 1772 (2007) which supports the political process in Somalia and the role of AMISON. As member of the Somali Contact Group, Tanzania promises to continue to be pro-active and offers to contribute in the training of the Somali military.
Western Sahara
Mr. President;
The United Nations should remain seized with the issue of Western Sahara. Tanzania reaffirms its support for the inalienable right of the people of Saharawi to decide and choose the way forward. We urge the United Nations to intensify its efforts to find an honourable and just solution to this longstanding decolonization issue.
The Middle East
The crisis inside the Palestinian territories is a matter of great concern to us. Tanzania remains supportive of efforts aimed at creating two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side, at peace with each other. This presents, in our view, the best hope for sustainable peace in the region. We applaud and welcome the renewed international interest and effort in line with the relevant UN resolutions.
Lebanese Situation
The Lebanese government and peoples need and deserve the continued support of the UN and all of us in the international community as they reconstruct and stabilize their country. In this regard, Tanzania is glad to be a party to the efforts being expended by the United Nations, through our modest contribution to the Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). We are ready to increase our contribution whenever required to do so.
Conclusion
Mr. President;
In conclusion, Mr. President, Tanzania reaffirms its belief in and commitment to multilateralism and the United Nations. You can count on Tanzania’s continued support to this organization and the ideals it stands for.
I thank you.

  4. WAFADHILI WATAKA UFAFANUZI WA TUHUMA ZA UFISADI KWA WAANDISHI WANAOTOA HABARI JUU YA RUSHWA ZINAZOENDELEA.

    SAKATA la tuhuma za ufisadi dhidi ya viongozi wa serikali na wafanyabiasha nchini linaendelea kutimua vumbi baada ya Jumuiya ya Umoja wa Ulaya (EU) kutaka serikali itoe ufafanuzi wa kina ili kurejesha imani kwa wafadhili na wananchi.

    Katika mahojiano Maalum na Mwananchi, Mkuu wa Mabalozi wa EU walioko nchini, Maddens Peter, alisema hadi sasa tuhuma za rushwa dhidi ya baadhi ya viongozi hazijakanushwa na akaonya kama serikali itaendelea kukaa kimya basi huenda watu na nchi wafadhili wakadhani kuwa tuhuma hizo ni za kweli.

    "Tuhuma zinaonekana bado hazijakanushwa. Serikali inatakiwa kueleza vema kazi, sera na hata mafananikio yake. Mawasiliano ni jambo muhimu sana kwa nchi wafadhili, hivyo ndivyo demokrasia na utawala bora inavyotaka," alisema.

    Peter alisema ni kazi ya serikali kutoa ufafanuzi wa tuhuma hizo ili nchi wafadhili ziweze kuwaeleza wananchi wao.

    "Nchi wafadhili wanatakiwa kuwaelezea walipakodi wao jinsi fedha zao zinavyotumika katika nchi hii hivyo tunatakiwa kuwa na ripoti sahihi na ya uhakika ili tuendeleze ushirikiano tuliokubaliana," alisema.

    Kuhusiana na ukaguzi unaoendelea Benki Kuu ya Tanzania (BoT), Peter alisema nchi wafadhili wana wawakilishi nchini Tanzania wangependa kuona uchunguzi wa kina unafanyika na wakaguzi walioteuliwa.

    "Serikali iliwaahidi walipakodi kwamba uchunguzi makini utafanyika na sisi tunasema, si kuwa na ripoti ya ukaguzi tu, lakini pia kuona utekelezaji wa mapendekezo ambayo yatatolewa," alisema.

    Kampuni ya Ernest and Young ambayo imepewa kazi hiyo, ilianza kufanya ukaguzi wa mahesabu BoT Septemba 10, mwaka huu na inatarajia kumaliza kazi hiyo baada ya siku 60.

    Wakati huo huo; Balozi Msaidizi wa Ujerumani nchini Tanzania, Ingo Herbert, aliishauri serikali ya Tanzania kujibu shutuma zote za rushwa zinazotolewa dhidi ya baadhi ya viongozi wake kwa sababu nchi wafadhili zinafuatilia kwa karibu malumbano yanayoendelea na kwamba zingependa kufahamu ukweli.

    Tuhuma zinazotolewa kuhusu ufisadi ni nzito, nasi tungependa serikali ikatoa tamko lake mapema iwezekanavyo kuhusu tuhuma zilizotolewa na vyama vya upinzani dhidi ya baadhi ya viongozi,� alisema.

    Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari katika Ukumbi wa Habari Maelezo, jijini Dar es Salaam jana, Herbert alisema ni vizuri serikali ikazingatia misingi ya utawala bora ambayo dhana yake ni uwazi, ukweli na uwajibikaji.

    Alisema Ujerumani ni mshiriki mkubwa wa maendeleo ya Tanzania, kwani katika miongo minne iliyopita imetumia kiasi cha Euro bilioni 1.8 kwa ajili ya kusaidia shughuli za maendeleo hivyo hata walipa kodi wa Ujerumani nao wangependa kufahamu kuwa kodi zao zinatumiwa vizuri na kwa malengo yaliyokusudiwa.

    Herbert alikuwa akieleza kuhusu wiki ya Ujerumani iliyoanza jana, ambayo lengo lake ni kuwatambulisha Watanzania kuwa Ujerumani ni miongozi mwa washirika wakubwa wa maendeleo nchini, hivyo Ubalozi wa nchi hiyo umeandaa maonyesho ya shughuli zake inazofanya Tanzania chini ya taasisi zake za maendeleo ambazo ni Partner for the Future Worldwide (Gtz), Hanns Seidel Foundation (Hsf), Konrad Adenauer-Stiftung (Kas), Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (Fes), Deutsche Welle na Germany Capacity Building International (Inwent).

    Alisema serikali ya Ujerumani imeshiriki katika sekta tatu muhimu za maendeleo nchini Tanzania ambazo ni huduma za afya, miradi ya maji safi na salama na uimarishaji wa serikali za mitaa.

    Alisema miradi yote hiyo inaendeshwa chini ya mpango wa mashirikiano baina ya Ujerumani na Tanzania ambao lengo lake ni kutekeleza sera ya maendeleo ya Ujerumani ambayo ni kusaidia kunyanyua kiwango cha maisha cha watu wa nchi zinazoendelea.

    Herbert alisema katika makubaliano ya ushirikiano baina ya Ujerumani na Tanzania, kipaumbele zaidi kimewekwa katika mpango wa serikali ya Tanzania wa kukuza uchumi na kuondoa umasikini (Mkukuta), ili kutimiza malengo ya maendeleo ya milenia ambapo nchi hiyo inaisaidia katika nyanja tatu ambazo ni kukuza uchumi na kupunguza umasikini wa kipato, kuboresha kiwango cha maisha ya watu na huduma za jamii na kukuza utawala bora na uwajibikaji.

    Kuhusu suala la utawala bora na uwajibikaji, Herbert alisema wanafuatilia kwa karibu siasa za Tanzania na Ujerumani imeguswa na malumbano yanayoendelea ambayo yanawahusisha viongozi wa serikali ya na tuhuma za rushwa.

    Huyu ni balozi wa tatu wa nchi wahisani wa Tanzania kutoa maoni yake kuhusu tuhuma za rushwa na ufisadi zilizotolewa na Dk Wilbroad Slaa dhidi ya viongozi mbalimbali zinazohusisha ufujaji na upotevu wa rasilimali za umma.

    Mwishoni mwa wiki iliyopita, Balozi wa Uholanzi Karel van Kesteren, alielezea kukerwa kwake na tuhuma hizo dhidi ya viongozi waandamizi wa serikali na kutaka serikali itoe tamko lake haraka iwezekanavyo.

  5. WAPINZANI WAMJIBU WARIOBA

    2007-09-29 08:40:57
    Na Restuta James


    Umoja wa vyama vya upinzani umejiingiza katika malumbano na Waziri Mkuu mstaafu Jaji Joseph Warioba kwa kudai kuwa hautishwi na utetezi uliotolewa na kiongozi huyo na kwamba wakigundua kuna ubadhirifu aliowahi kuufanya wakati akiwa kiongozi wa ngazi za juu serikalini watamshughulikia.

    Kauli hiyo imekuja siku moja baada ya Jaji Warioba kuzungumzia tuhuma zilizotolewa na wapinzani za kuwataja hadharani viongozi wa serikali na kuwahusisha na ubadhirifu wa mali za umma.

    Wakizungumza na waandishi wa habari kwenye ofisi za makuu ya CHADEMA, jijini Dar es Salaam, viongozi hao kutoka vyama vya TLP, NCCR-Mageuzi, CHADEMA na CUF, walisema wanashangazwa na kauli zinazoendelea kutolewa na watu waliowatuhumu pamoja na ile ya jaji Warioba na kueleza kuwa hawatambui Jaji Warioba alizungumza kwa kutumia utaratibu gani kwa kuwa hivi sasa hashikilii wadhifa wowote.

    Viongozi hao wa vyama walisema Jaji Warioba alipaswa kueleza juhudi zake za kupambana na ufisadi na kwamba baadhi ya majina ya watu wanaowatuhumu si mageni badala ya kukaa kimya na kuwashangaa wapinzani ambao wana nia ya dhati ya kutaka ukweli juu ya matumizi ya rasilimali za umma na fedha za walipakodi.

    `Sisi tunaamini kuwa Jaji Warioba ni miongoni mwa viongozi waadilifu lakini kauli yake ya juzi inatupa utata sana maana alitakiwa kuwashauri viongozi wa serikali juu ya kutoa tamko kuhusiana na tuhuma hizi kuliko ambavyo viongozi hao wanaanzisha malumbano kwenye vyombo vya habari hivi sasa,` alisema Mjumbe wa Halmashauri Kuu ya NCCR-Mageuza Taifa Bw. Sam Ruhuza.

    Katika hatua nyingine viongozi hao walisema wameahirisha kulipua `mabomu mengine kwa kuwa bado wanafanya uhakiki na uchunguzi zaidi wa `mabomu` wanayokusudia kuyalipua.

    Walifafanua kuwa kwa sasa wanashirikiana na wataalamu mbalimbali kukamilisha uhakiki wa jambo wanalotaka kuwaeleza wananchi.

    Kaimu Katibu Mkuu wa CHADEMA Bw. Victor Kimesera alisema bomu lililopangwa kulipuliwa ni jipya na kwamba halihusiani na yaliyotangulia akitaja Buzwagi na viongozi waliotuhumiwa kujihusika na ufisadi.

    `Hili jambo ni jipya hatutazungumzia uamuzi uliofikiwa na watuhumiwa wa kutaka kutuburuza mahakamani maana hilo litatatuliwa kimahakama kama ambavyo wanadai,` alisema.

    Kaimu Katibu Mkuu huyo alisema viongozi wa vyama hivyo wanashirikiana na jopo la wataalam wa kada mbalimbali kujadili suala hilo kwa kina na kwamba siku chache zijazo watawaeleza wananchi.

    Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa CUF ? Zanzibar Bw. Juma Duni Haji , kwa upande wake alisema anashangazwa na watuhumiwa waliotajwa kutokwenda mahakamani hadi sasa, badala yake kuendelea kusema kuwa wamechafuliwa majina na kukashifiwa.

    `Wanajifanya kuwa wamechafuliwa majina lakini hawataki kwenda mahakamani. Hiyo janja yao ya kutaka kuwaathiri wananchi kisaikolojia tumeigundua hivyo tunawaomba wananchi wawe makini kwa kufuatilia mambo haya bila kukata tamaa hadi hapo ukweli utakapojulikana` alisisitiza Bw. Haji.

    Mjumbe wa Halmashauri Kuu NCCR-Mageuzi Taifa Bw. Ruhuza aliongeza kuwa wanasuburi kuburuzwa mahakamani ili watoe mambo yaliyotakiwa kuzungumzwa bungeni na viongozi waliotaka kuwasilisha hoja binafsi.

    Mkutano huo ulihudhuriwa na Mwenyekiti wa TLP Bw. Mrema, Bw. Ruhuza wa NCCR-Mageuzi, Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa CUF Zanzibar Bw. Haji pamoja na viongozi mbalimbali waandamizi wa vyama hivyo kutoka bara na visiwani.

    Aidha viongozi hao walisema wataitisha mkutano mapema pale kazi ya uhakiki wa nyaraka za `bomu` wanalotaka kuwaeleza wananchi itakapokamilika.

  6. POLISI WAFYATUA RISASI KUTAWANYA WANANCHI

    2007-09-29 08:42:08
    Na Raymond Kaminyoge


    Polisi jijini Dar es Salaam, jana walilazimika kufyatua risasi hewani kuwatawanya wanakijiji zaidi ya 100 na kuwakamata wengine 10 katika Kiwanda cha Saruji cha Twiga (TPCC), Wazo.

    Wananchi hao, wakazi wa Madale wilayani Kinondoni, walikumbana na balaa hilo baada ya kuvamia hafla ya uzinduzi wa upanuzi wa kiwanda hicho.

    Habari kutoka eneo la tukio zimesema kwamba wanakijiji hao walitaka kumuona Waziri Mkuu ili wamueleze mgogoro wao wa ardhi.

    Waziri Mkuu, Bw. Edward Lowassa, alitarajiwa kuwa mgeni rasmi katika hafla ya uzinduzi wa upanuzi wa kiwanda hicho cha saruji.

    Hata hivyo, Waziri Mkuu hakuwepo katika hafla hiyo na badala yake aliwakilishwa na Waziri wa Nchi, Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu (Bunge), Dk. Batilda Burian.

    Wakiwa umbali wa takriban mita 50 huku wakiimba wimbo wenye ujumbe wa kurejeshewa ardhi yao, polisi na walinzi wa kiwanda hicho, waliwazuia kuendelea kusonga mbele.

    Hata hivyo, wanakijiji hao waliendelea kwenda mbele, hali iliyowafanya polisi kufyatua risasi tano kwa lengo la kuwarudisha nyuma.

    Baada ya risasi hizo, wananchi hao walijikusanya pamoja na kuendelea kuimba lakini baada ya muda kidogo kupita, walivamiwa na polisi ambao walilazimika kutembeza virungu ili kuwaondoa katika eneo hilo.

    Polisi walifanya hivyo huku wakiwakamata baadhi ya wanakijiji hao wakiwemo wanawake.

    Mmoja wa wanakijiji hao, Bw. Abdallah Mlaponi alisema wameishi katika eneo hilo kwa muda mrefu lakini wameshangazwa na hatua ya kunyang?anywa maeneo yao na kupewa watu wengine.

    `Tulitaka kumweleza Waziri Mkuu, Bw. Lowassa namna tunavyodhulumiwa haki zetu, lakini tunashangaa tunapigwa virungu,` alisema.

    Mkuu wa Wilaya ya Kinondoni, Kanali Fabian Massawe, alisema wanakijiji hao kama wana matatizo ya ardhi, walitakiwa kufuata taratibu zinazotakiwa na siyo kuvamia shughuli za watu.

    Akisoma hotuba kwa niaba ya Waziri Mkuu, Waziri wa Nchi, Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu (Bunge), Dk. Burian alisema kukua kwa sekta ya ujenzi kunategemea sana kuwepo kwa saruji ya kutosha.

    Alisema asilimia 40 ya sekta ya ujenzi hapa nchini, inategemea kiwanda cha TPCC.

    `Upanuzi wa kiwanda hicho utasaidia kupunguza upungufu wa saruji unaotokana na mahitaji makubwa ya bidhaa hiyo hapa nchini,` alisema.

    Waziri Mkuu alisema katika kipindi cha mwaka 2000 hadi 2005, uzalishaji wa saruji uliongezeka kutoka tani 833,092 hadi 1,375,222.

    Alisema mahitaji ya saruji yaliongezeka kutoka tani 809,992 mwaka 2000 hadi tani 1,454,992 mwaka 2005
    Katika hafla hiyo, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa kiwanda hicho, Bw. Klaus Hvassing alikabidhi tani 100 za saruji kwa ajili ya ujenzi wa shule wilayani Monduli mkoani Arusha, tani 50 kwa wilaya ya Rombo mkoani Kilimanjaro na tani 50 kwa ajili ya ujenzi wa madarasa mkoani Dar es Salaam.
