Should Poor Countries especilly Tanzania, Build New Capital Cities?

We should build to distribute our resources evenly. It has been so difficult for people to travel from Kigoma, Mpanda, Kagera, Musoma to Dar es salaam. With Dodoma people will have easy access to all ministry as will become near for all Tanzanians. It is also my hope that development will be fast than now everything is in Dar.

What has changed to invalidate the reason.
Don't you get some sense that after building Dar the government will now build Dodoma? Don't you sense that Tanzanians will access the government for few days. Aren't good for you?

Moving the capital... Should be done after all necessary matter being attended

I think more emphasis should be on

*improving schools
*improving health centers
*bulild more modern roads not only in Dar es salaam ,other region to
*The should improve the electricity system so we can hav a stable electricity supply

Don't you know that all these are in progress at Dodoma at high speed than ever?
Just Visit Dodoma. Infrastructures are in good shape. But also other cities around Dodoma feel the CC.

As today they establish Dodoma as the capital to help those they call the commnoners, tomorrow no wonder there can be construction of a massive paradise so as to reduce the number of those going to the saturn.

resources misuse, always the poorest are the best spender.

Lets talk what we know, Tanzania for example, Why we shift to Dodoma?.
The only big reason its because Nyerere wanted so,Nyerere dreams must be fulfilled.
Safety matters was the only Nyerere reason if you go back the history, would be very difficult for our rivals and enemies to step in Dodoma rather than DSM. With this modern world can that reason work? if its necessary is there the need to rush with too much power and expenses?

..Mama Sami hakutakiwa kuapishwa Dsm, alitakiwa kuapishwa Dodoma.

..Mwili wa Magufuli haukupaswa kuagwa Dsm, angeagwa Dodoma, na kupelekwa Geita/Chato kuzikwa.

The following relatively poor countries and often recipients of international and/or U.N. aid have built new capital cities:

1. Pakistan - Islamabad (replaced Rawalpindi)
2. Myanmar - Naypyidaw (replaced Yangon)
3. Tanzania - Dodoma (in process to replace Dar es Salaam)
4. Nigeria - Abuja (replaced Lagos)
5.Malawi-Lilong (Blantyre)
6.South Africa-Pretoria (J'Burg)
7.Brazil -Rio (Brasilia)
8.Ivory Coast -Yamossoukro (Abidjan)
9.Burma -Naypyidaw(Rangoon

It seems that these countries are desperately poor lands that do not have a new capital among the top of their needs lists. If I had to guess, these cities were built first so that the ruling classes would not have to put up with a teeming, crowded city such as Naypyidaw . Also, the cities, I believe, are major ego trips for the ruling classes.

To be fair, I am "equal opportunity" when it comes to building new capital cities. Let us base on USA,I think building Washington, D.C. was improvident. New York City as capital was just fine. However, the U.S. was receiving help from no one in those days, and federal resources were not expected to be used for social needs. Now it's a different story.

I think aid donors such as the U.N. and the U.S. should be very skeptical.

Worse enough apparently In Tanzania,it didn't totally come to fruition as the government ministers are not too comfortable with moving from Dar es Salaam. If that's the case, it's a waste of money and obviously not good. Tanzania doesn't really have the money to spare on building a new capital, so in this type of instance I'd say no Need of building new cities whiler around60,000 people die of hunger and hunger-related diseases every year, more than double the lives taken by AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis in 2010-2017. Every 10 seconds, a child dies from hunger.

No need of building Dodoma
