Tanzania has awarded a $1.92 billion contract to a Turkish firm to construct a 422-km (262-mile) high-speed electric railway line, part of plans to overhaul ageing transport infrastructure.
The firm, Yapi Merkezi Insaat VE Sanayi As, will design and construct the railway line, the second infrastructure project won by the company in Tanzania this year.
“After assessment of the bids, Yapi Merkezi met the technical and financial requirements,” Tanzanian state-run railway firm Reli Assets Holding Company Ltd (RAHCO) said in a statement on Friday.

[I]Tanzania’s economy grew 7.9 per cent in the second quarter of 2016, compared to 5.8 per cent during the same time last year, the state-run National Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.
“The growth of GDP in the second quarter was driven by mining(tumeshindwa na tutkana oil),
manufacturing(we love imported stuffs. Manufacturing in is to its knees) and
energy sectors(we are selling off our geothermals to Chinese as a collateral of loans borrowed),” Albina Chuwa, the director general of the bureau, told a news conference.
“The increased production of natural gas has significantly boosted electricity generation in the country.”[/I]
