Deputy Minister for Energy Stephen Byabato has said today in Parliament as he was responding to Special Seats MP, Jesca Kishoa, who enquired about the government’s future plans to ensure it enters contracts that are error-free by 2024.
“The government will discuss the contract later on if both sides agree; a new contract that is free of errors and more beneficial to the nation will be signed,” he said.
Byabato said that the government through the Tanzania Electricity Supply Company (TANESCO) has formed a task force to review the fundamental issues that need to be considered when signing the new contract.
Special Seat MP, Ester Bulaya asked an additional question on when the government will review all contracts including the Mwalimu Nyerere Hydroelectric Power Generation construction so as to avoid losses.
In response, Byabato said that the government will work on the concerns of the MPs and will continue cooperating with them to ensure the contracts it enters bring benefits to the general public.
“We will ensure the current contracts are improved so that they are implemented for the benefit of the majority,” he added.
