A study by a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), Haki Ardhi, shows that the government's decision to halt the Kigamboni New City Project has paralyzed economic development in the area and called on the state to come clean on the matter.

Haki Ardhi Executive Director, Mr Yefred Miyenzi, told reporters in Dar es Salaam on Monday that 70 per cent of the youths who depended on construction activities to make a living have been left jobless since the government stopped construction work in Kigamboni.

"Kigamboni residents want to be fully involved in the project development, they want to discuss and air their views in official meetings," said Mr Miyenzi while reading findings of the study conducted between December 2011 and March 2012.

He said the study was conducted to examine social, economic and environmental impacts to Kigamboni residents since the introduction of the project in 2008, saying the study interviewed different people including local government leaders in the area.


"The researchers also used various reports including master plan of the project, hansards and newspaper cuttings to compile the study," he said.

He said the study discovered that people have been psychological affected because they are kept in the dark about the fate of the project and thus their own fates and cannot make future plans.Mr Miyenzi further noted that many Kigamboni residents have been denied loans by banks after submitting title deeds as collateral and affecting entrepreneurs tremendously in the process.

He also advised the government to consider the current currency value when compensating Kigamboni residents to avoid complaints, saying that previous experience indicates that people are underpaid when payments take many years.

Kwanini Serikali ya CCM imesimamisha Ujenzi wa Kigamboni City? Vijana Wengi Wangepata Kazi na kuipa kura CCM

Bora kuna sababu ya kusimamisha Ujenzi isiwe ikawa kuna wakubwa wanataka hilo eneo; wakubwa wawekezaji wa

Nje... Sababu kila mtu kazuiwa Kujenga Kigamboni hata Mbunge wa Kigamboni hauji kinachoendelea...

ni kweli kabisa, lakini hizo ndiyo gharama za maendeleo ya kisasa, tusipinge kila kitu...nchi zote zilizoendelea zilipitia hatua hizi leo ukipita China utaona wanabomoa miji ya zamani na kujenga miji mipya inayoendana na wakati uliopo, na kote huko wanaojenga ni developers wakubwa wenye hela zao

unachokisema ni sawa iwapo tutafuata misingi waliyotumia wachina kuendeleza miji, yao kwani hawajawafukuza watu, wala wakulima wenye mashamba yao bali waliochukuliwa maeneo yao kwanza wamepewa nyumba za kuishi kwa muda, na pindi nyumba mpya zinapomalizika wanapewa sehemu ya nyumba hizo kumilika aidha apartment au flour. Lakini kwa utaratibu wetu hapa ni kufukuza watu tena kwa malipo madogo hivyo hatima yao haijulikani. Pia mradi unaendeshwa kifisadi ndo maana watu wanapinga. Mfano halisi upo...angalia kurasini..hayo ndo mambo yanayopelekea watu kupinga. Ndugu yangu wachina wako smart wacha mchezo kaka. Tungeiga hawa wachina tungekuwa mbali kidogo sana wameegemea magharibi wazungu tangu lini ana urafiki na waafrika? Hapo tumecheza pata potea...

kwakweli pamoja ni kwamba ni jambo jema, lakini utekelezaji wako ni usanii mtupu kwahiyo wanakigamboni msikubali serikali hii haina nia njema kabisa na watu wake, kwahiyo tushirikiane kupinga mradi huu kwani ni wa kifisadi na hauko wazi. Ni kufa na kupona kigamboni lazima tutoe somo kwa hili tusikubali kuonewa tena.
