NEED FOR IMMEDIATE REFORMS
The Kariakoo collapse is a stark reminder of long-standing issues in urban development across Tanzania's cities.
Prof. Tibaijuka emphasised the need for immediate reforms, warning that the failure to rectify these systemic flaws has resulted in immense economic losses, lives lost, and reputational damage 63 years after the country gained independence.
“We are now paying the heavy price of negligence—losing lives, properties, employment opportunities, and facing the humiliation of failing to uphold construction standards," Prof Anna Tibaijuka.
@Ma3Route @ntsa_kenya@sikikaroadsafek On 27/09/2024, at around 4:25 pm, the matatu with plate number KAZ 896 W from MANMO SACCO hit my car at the Allsops interchange and sped off. The incident has been reported at Ruaraka Police Station (OB 13/27/9/2024).
Housing Levy was and is extremely unpopular. I had decided to make peace with that tax because in each of our construction site, each 50sqm generated 1 direct job and another 3-5 indirect jobs.
I estimated that the housing levy programme would have created 200,000 direct jobs and another likely 600,000 indirect jobs each year. Meaning 1,0000,000 direct jobs and another 6,000,000 indirect jobs in 5 years. That would be a decent % of the jobs we would need today.
Mass number of jobs, are sometimes available in labor- export and intensive industries and not necessarily out of Industrialization. Where is the balance? Industrialization creates more paying but fewer jobs but these other labor intensive sectors create more #jobs
Africa needs to look into Agric, Retail and Hospitality, Manufacturing and Construction. India created majority (41%) of jobs in low- skill #construction
Today’s rulling could easily have taken away 1,000,000 direct jobs and another 6,000,000 jobs with it even as it saved Kenyans already hard pressed employees taxes.
How can else can we create that many jobs and skills?
1. Alcohol has 0 health benefit.
2. No level of alcohol consumption is safe for your health.
3. There's nothing like "drink responsibly", they just want the money.
4. Alcohol only makes people poorer, dumber, fatter, and sicker.
5. Change for your own good.
Repost: for others.
Whether Abraham made the trip up Mount Moriah or not, the ram was already there. God always keeps his end of the bargain. This year I am encouraged to move, knowing the provision has already been made.
There is a lot of hype around “Block and Beam” System for slabbing.
However, the main players do not disclose that the hidden attendant costs almost makes their proposition uncompetitive.
