Some suggestions that may boost economic development in Tanzania.
1) If there is a single currency in the EAC area (or in the AfCFTA area or in the SADC area), it can co-exist with national currencies, do not abolish the national currencies.
2) Make Arusha city a hub for international organisations like the EAC, UN etc. And improve the infrastructure of Arusha city.
3) Lengthen the runway of Arusha airport, to 3,300 metres, if there is free space. If there is no space, tarmac 3.3 kms of lake Manyara airport runway.
If there is free space, the runways of all regional airports in Tanzania should be at least 3 kms of tarmac, this will enable big airplanes to land in all regions of Tanzania.
4) Give city status to Moshi town. Expanding it southwards and downwards away from the mountain. And improve its infrastructure. Also finish tarmacking the Kamwanga to Siha to KIA junction, road.
5) Tarmac the road that directly connects Karatu with Mwadui, north of lake Eyasi (without passing through Singida region) or that connects Karatu with Bariadi, via a junction of Ngorongoro and Serengeti road. This will boost tourism.
6) Tarmac the road from Ngorongoro park gate to Serengeti park gate to Musoma lake Victoria beach. This will boost tourism.
7) Build a 3.3 km runway for airplanes (with a very small building for a terminal), some where near lake Chala area or near lower Uchira area. This will boost tourism and development in the area.
8) Open more mountain climbing routes in Kilimanjaro e.g. open the Mkuu Rombo route, the Msae, Lyakirimu, Mwika route, improve the Rongai route, the Sanya juu route etc.
9) Encourage the planting of good trees, that are natural in their local areas, within EAC and SADC countries.
10) Encourage a simple form of solid waste separation, when disposing solid waste from households, firms, local governments, public agencies and the central government.
11) Encourage and promote youth self employment and employment, within EAC and SADC countries.
12) Encourage and promote SMEs and local entrepreneurs.
13) To open a dry port near Dodoma city.
14) To connect a large fresh water pipe between Dodoma city and Rufiji river. This will provide Dodoma city residents with clean, fresh and non-salty water. The lake Victoria water may be piped until Singida.
15) If there is free space, to increase the length of the runway of the Dar es Salaam airport, from 3,000 to 3,500 or 4,000 metres. This will attract larger airplanes.
16) Increase the length of the runway of the Kilimanjaro airport, from 3,600 metres to 4,000 metres. This will attract larger airplanes.
17) To connect the harbour berths where ships load and unload their cargo inside the Dar es Salaam port, directly with a SGR rail link which will then, down the line, connect with the Dar es Salaam - Dodoma SGR rail and also with the TAZARA rail. So that containers can be loaded and unloaded directly from ships, to and from rail trucks, inside the harbour, to and from SGR rail and TAZARA rail. This will increase port efficiency and government tax revenue.
18) To tarmac 3.3 kms of airport runway, between Bagamoyo and Kibaha. No building a terminal.
19) To tarmac 3.3 kms of airport runway, some where, in Mara region, where there is space, so as to boost tourism.
20) Launch a satelite into the earth orbit, that can be used by our telephone and internet companies.
21) Build a small port on lake Tanganyika, some where in Nkasi, Rukwa region.
22) Encorage peaceful resolution of land disputes national wide, as it is done in the Gezaulole area of Kigamboni district.
23) To tarmac 3.3 kms of airport runway, 20 kms south of Morogoro town. No building a terminal.
24) To tarmac the road that goes up from Tangi Bovu bus station (that is opposite the Tangi Bovu kkkt church), towards Mbezi Juu, via Mbezi Hills Apartments, until it reaches Goba road. 3 kms.
25) To gravel or tarmac, the whole of Matasha road (one lane road, one car at one time road), and the whole of Makiidi road (two lane road, two cars at one time road), in Mkuu, Rombo district, Kilimanjaro region.
26) To promote medium scale LNG projects (around 1 billion usd), that may be more financially sustainable, instead of the large scale ones.
27) Allow only 3 passengers to be in a car (together with the car driver), provided they will unboard the car before the car enters the kivukoni ferry and when the car leaves the ferry (15 - 20 metres either side). As opposed to now where by no passengers are allowed to be in the car.
The passengers will be charged the passenger fare while they sit in the car. Instead of leaving the car completely and using the pedestrian ferry entrances.
28) Create a double road on both sides of the kivukoni ferry, so as to reduce car congestion.
29) Increase the pedestrian kivukoni ferry fare from 200 tzs to 300 tzs, in Dsm.
30) Make the whole main road from Holili (on the Tanzanian-Kenyan border, via Moshi and Arusha) until Makuyuni (when the main road branches to Babati and to Ngorongoro gate), to become a double road.
31) Encourage medium scale LNG projects (around 1 billion USD) that may be more financial feasible. Lengthen the runways of airports that are located in LNG producing areas. Try to connect some major Tanzanian industrial cities with a LNG pipeline network. Inject a bit more money into TPDC and PURA, so as to capacitate them more.
32) Produce domestic and or industrial cooking stoves, that use high quality 'clean' coal (that generates very little smoke when fired), that is mined in Tanzania (e.g. in Ruvuma). This will reduce the use of charcoal and firewood.
33) Loans provided by the pension funds to the government, should be in the form of treasury bills or bonds, may be sometimes interest free treasury bills and bonds.
34) Maximum presidential terms, should be three terms of five years each, and not the current two terms.
35) TAKUKURU should be renamed Tanzania Bureau of Investigation. The government should also form the Tanzania Secret Service (TSS), which will cooperate with the current Tanzania Intelligence and Security Services (TISS). Tanzania Secret Service (TSS), will be more responsible with the security of the President and of the state house premises.
36) Build a tarmac road that connects Muheza and Babati.
37) Promote tourism in Dar es Salaam and Coast regions.
38) A double road from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, via Morogoro, and may be also from Morogoro to Tunduma.
39) A light rail from Makuyuni to Arusha to KIA to Moshi and to Himo.
40) Build a road that connects Mahenge in Morogoro region with Kilwa Masoko in Lindi region (directly via Nyerere national park).
