The construction of the pipeline that will take Ugandan crude for export on the Tanzanian coast is to be fast tracked. The decision was reached during talks between Tanzanian President John Magufuli, and his Ugandan counterpart, Yoweri Museveni, in Kampala, Magufuli’s office said in a statement.
The Tanzanian president suggested that the project be developed using the design and construct model “to speed up implementation of the 1,410-km pipeline project … and award contracts to five or six different contractors to build different sections of the pipeline at the same time.”
Magufuli was quoted by his office as saying, “By doing that we will significantly reduce the time needed to build the oil pipeline and the entire project can be completed within just one year.”
