Arusha's regional boss, Amos Makalla, told the Spanish contractor GESI Espanola to quit dragging their feet on the 11 billion shilling runway lighting project at Arusha Airport. The regional commissioner checked progress on site and basically said he wants lights and generators shipped ASAP since the government already dropped cash to make the airport run around the clock for tourism purposes.
Makalla warned the airport manager and construction crew that he'll be swinging by constantly to make sure foreign equipment orders actually show up. The upgrade should pump more daily flights into the region, and President Samia already promised tourism sector improvements to match the visitor numbers climbing in northern Tanzania.
