Some president is tired of paying people to bulldoze their illegal buildings. Zanzibar's leader, Hussein Mwinyi, issued a sharp warning against constructing homes or shops on protected road reserves, stating that it complicates infrastructure projects and costs the government huge compensation fees. He directed transport officials to clearly mark these zones and told the roads agency to act early against encroachers.
Mwinyi inaugurated a nineteen-kilometer road linking Kitope to Kidimni, a project built by a Turkish contractor for over thirteen million dollars. The road features twenty-two small bridges and multiple bus stops, designed to connect farming areas to markets. A modern produce market also opened, a sixteen point six billion shilling facility with security cameras and dedicated shops for displaced traders. These projects aim to boost economic activity by improving links between rural producers and urban centers.
