Here are some specific examples of Magufuli's role in improving Tanzania's roads:
- Increased government investment in road construction and maintenance: Magufuli significantly increased the government's budget for road construction and maintenance. This allowed the government to build new roads, upgrade existing roads, and improve the overall condition of the country's road network.
- Established the Tanzania Rural Roads Agency (TARURA): TARURA is a government agency that is responsible for the development and maintenance of rural roads. Magufuli established TARURA in 2015 to improve the condition of rural roads, which were previously in poor condition.
- Launched the Strategic Road Network Development Plan (SRNDP): The SRNDP is a 10-year plan to upgrade and expand the country's road network. Magufuli launched the SRNDP in 2015, and it is now one of the largest road construction projects in Africa.
- Cracked down on corruption in the road sector: Magufuli fired a number of government officials who were accused of corruption in the road sector. He also introduced new anti-corruption laws and regulations. This helped to ensure that government funds were used efficiently and effectively to improve the country's roads.
In addition to the above, Magufuli also played a role in improving Tanzania's roads by:
- Promoting the use of local materials and contractors: Magufuli encouraged the use of local materials and contractors in road construction projects. This helped to create jobs and boost the local economy.
- Ensuring that road construction projects were completed on time and within budget: Magufuli closely monitored road construction projects to ensure that they were completed on time and within budget. This helped to avoid delays and cost overruns.
- Holding contractors accountable for the quality of their work: Magufuli held contractors accountable for the quality of their work. He also established a system to monitor the performance of contractors and to ensure that they met their contractual obligations.
While Magufuli was a controversial figure, there is no doubt that he played a key role in making sure that Tanzania has the best roads in East Africa. His efforts have helped to boost economic activity, improve the lives of millions of Tanzanians, and make Tanzania a more attractive destination for foreign investment.
