Salaam Wakuu,
Baada ya Waziri wa TAMISEMI kuagiza DART itafute mwekezaji binafsi wa kuendesha Mabasi ya Mwendokasi, sasa mambo yamekuwa moto.
Hadi sasa Makampuni 30 yameomba kuendesha Mabasi hayo.
MY TAKE
Nani wa kutoboa mbele ya Mwarabu?

Dar es Salaam. Two Tanzanian companies are among 30 others that are competing to operate the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in a global tender to procure commuter buses in Dar es Salaam.
The government is looking for private investors to partner with and improve efficiency in the BRT.
Last week, the minister of State in the President’s Office - Regional Administration and Local Governments (PO-RALG), Mr Mohamed Mchengerwa, urged Dar es Salaam Rapid Transit Agency (Dart) to find a private investor by October 2024 to offer bus services and maintain efficiency.
Dart’s chief executive officer Athumani Kihamia told The Citizen that two Tanzanian firms were competing for the tender but said it’s too early to mention the names of the companies.
“It is not appropriate to name a corporation at this time because the tender to find a service provider is international. There are currently two businesses from the United Arab Emirates, one each from Asia and the United Kingdom, and numerous others from Africa,” he said.
“The procurement process is currently going on very well; once we get a qualified service provider and make an agreement, we will announce the company as soon as possible and make it public,” he said.
Mr Kihamia insisted that currently there is no company that has won or been awarded the tender so far, adding that Dart is a procurement entity that is handling the procurement process.
According to him, it is a procedure to get a service provider, because the procurement process involves various institutions such as the Ministry of Finance, the Attorney General’s Office, Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) and the PO-RALG.
