You would rather have advised Tanzania to develop the Southern Corridor from Mchuchuma/Liganga coal mines to the Mtwara port. But then, you are a KENYAN so such an article is hardly surprising coming from you!ndotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126834303404652410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4878785766209359257.post-65534643766628438302018-01-07T08:11:54.288-08:002018-01-07T08:11:54.288-08:00I give up.

We are talking about tonnes of freight, not people. Will unstable Congo invest on the last mile? is it possible for Dangote cement, to generate more tonnage for the railway line, than Burundi, Rwanda and DRC combined?East Africa Economics Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336638272766088431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4878785766209359257.post-59182379964209970332018-01-05T00:28:46.094-08:002018-01-05T00:28:46.094-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522428250589463788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4878785766209359257.post-81857012290322526382018-01-05T00:24:38.383-08:002018-01-05T00:24:38.383-08:00I have read the article open minded and got to the...I have read the article open minded and got to the conclusion that,first it seems like your trying so hard to persuade us to abandon the most lucrative n potential sources of income n market the central corridor has to offer and leave them to be taken n dominated/monopolized by northern corridor"Kenyan's".<br />I don't know how or why you left a certain point n turn it up side down like when you said that individual regions of our beautiful mother land are more profitable to persue than individual countries like Rwanda with a total population of almost twelve million people and a GDP of almost 6$ billion dollars and something? And that is just one country we are talking about, there is Burundi and "Congo with a very vibrant economy and a population that is way bigger than ours"?<br />We Tanzanians are not stupid no short minded as you "Mr.Musyoka wa Kendo" think we are, we are just playing it cool and simple, we know what we have n don't have, we just don't brag about everything we plan or implement.<br />Central Corridor is just one part or first phase of our program/project to develop this Mighty Nation and a sleeping Giant of ours but the Mtwara Corridor is our second project n it doesn't start from Dar to Mtwara as you have sugested noooo my friend it will start from Mtwara port to Mbamba bay at the shores of lake Nyasa n connect with the markets of Malawi, Northern Mozambique, Zambia, Southern Congo n as far as Zimbabwe. You said something about coal and iron ore from mtwara to Dar which shows that you do lack knowledge of Tanzania n its minerals.<br />Coal n Iron ore are not found in Mtwara but further inland from Mchuchuma n Liganga around Rukwa n Mbeya regions and close to the shores of lake Nyasa, and this railway line project is estimated to be "1000 km long" and not 556 as you have said in your long article.<br />The third project will be the Tanzanian northern corridor from Tanga port/shores to through Moshi, Arusha all the way to Musoma at the shores of lake Victoria. This corridor is connected to the Central Corridor in two places first from Dar to Tanga and from Musoma to isaka all the way to Mwanza......<br />Once all the roots are done probably even before our dear President Uncle Magufuli has left the seat in 2025, Our dear neighbors, brothers and sisters you will be running for your lives n have nothing to advice us with.<br />Now this is my advice to you Sir wherever you are, we Tanzanians know exactly what we are doing with our Country n do not need to be forced fed advices that very biased n lack the deep sense of knowledge of our national economic development goals and stategy.<br /><br />My sincere advice to you Mr. Musyoka wa Kyendo it's always a good thing to share experience, advice each other as brothers and sisters and unless you can help us with the much needed funds that we really need for those projects, I suggest these issues of Tanzania's progress on development projects and programs, "MY FRIEND AND BROTHER YOU SHOULD JUST SIT DOWN, COOL DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522428250589463788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4878785766209359257.post-35793830932557160662018-01-04T11:06:56.971-08:002018-01-04T11:06:56.971-08:00Did you read the article with an open mind?

My point is simple; Tanzania should spent the money it is wasting on the project-west of Isaka to develop and open Mtwara region. It will generate sufficient tonnage to keep the line afloat.
