Nairobi > DarIn fact when it Comes to urbanization, Tanzania tops the Region,
With more of its population in urban areas, a reason we have many and bigger cities, Municipalities and Townships,
Huko Kenya mnaishi mashinani, despite ya kuwa na kanchi kadogo sana, half that of Tz’s landmass.
Mbeya city urban area has a population of 700k residents ..
Mbeya population is few thousands closer to that of Mombasa.
Wacha upuuzi wewe Inga dam meshakamilika? Na hiyo ya ethiopia phases zote zimeshakamilika? Kama bado meza wembe ukalale habari ndio hiyo.Ethiopian Renaissance Dam which is almost done has capacity ya 6000MW kilaza.., ignorance ni laana, ona ulivyo boya.., na DRC's Grand Inga Hydropower Project is purposed to have a total installed capacity of over 42,000 MW,.., yaani inaweza kushughulikia mahitaji ya Africa yoote na change ikabaki.., plans are underway., usijitekenye..,
