11/03/2010 by hindu.
The Dar es Salaam Water and Sewerage Authority (Dawasa) is planning to construct a water dam in Morogoro Region to serve as a backup for the city’s water needs.
Dawasa technical director Boniface Kasiga told reporters on Tuesday that the dam, to be built near Ruvu River, would be tapping water during the rain season for use during the dry season.
Kasiga said Dawasa would need a total of $85 million (about Sh105 billion) for the project which will kick off next year.

NSSF Board of Trustees wants tenants’ application rejected

THE Board of Trustees of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) today asked the High Court’s Land Division to reject the application by tenants of its flats at Tabata areas, seeking to temporarily halt the sell by tender of the blocks.
Advocate Stalla Manongi told Judge Atuganile Ngwala that the court could not grant the application for “the status quo” and that the intended sale of the flats by tender should be maintained because there was no main suit pending before the temple of justice.
“There is no suit which has been filed before this court so as to form bases under which this application for maintenance of the status quo can be made. This application is illegal, illogical as we do not see how could it be applied and, therefore, cannot be entertained,” she said.
