The Magufuli government has sanctioned one trillion shillings for the construction project for this year’s budget and until now 32 contractors have applied for a tender.

The line will cover the length of 200 kilometer from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro.

The president said he is looking ahead to start the project this financial year and wants to complete before he steps down.

He further added the Central Railway line project is important for their country and also for other countries that depend the Dar es Salaam port. It would contribut to the nation’s economic growth, paving way to becoming industry-based economy country by 2025.

Magufuli also pledged China would push for fast construction of the line and he vows to move at the speed of 200 km per hour.
