Arusha markets get major govt cash infusion

Arusha is getting massive market upgrades funded by the government. Regional Commissioner Amos Makalla stated significant investment is flowing into city markets to boost the business environment and create economic opportunities for locals. He inspected the ongoing Morombo Market project, a construction effort valued at over two billion shillings. This work happens alongside the larger Kilombero Market project under the Tanzania Cities Development Program.

Makalla thanked President Samia Suluhu Hassan for supporting the initiative. He said the new Morombo Market will accommodate more traders, expanding capacity from five hundred eighty to over seven hundred thirty-six spaces. These changes aim to improve the working environment and generate more opportunities for residents.

The commissioner also directed city leaders to prioritize original area traders for space once construction finishes. He told the project contractor to complete work on schedule and to install essential utilities like electricity and water promptly, rather than waiting for the entire build to end.
