Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) has appointed three Board of Directors replacing those whose terms of office expired.
The newly appointed Directors are Prof. Razack Bakari Lokina, Mrs. Rukia Diwani Shamte and Mr. Stanslous John Sichalwe.
The Ministers responsible for Transport in Tanzania and Zambia, Makame Mbarawa and Brian Mushimba made the respective appointments in accordance with the TAZARA Act.
Mr.Mushimba also renewed the membership for Peter Kazhila whose first term as a Director expired in December, 2017.
In the statement made available to ZANIS today by Tanzania-Zambia railway authority Head Public Relations Conrad K Simuchile, the term of office for Zambia’s other member of the Board from the private sector, Mr. Kazhila, has been extended for another three years.
The TAZARA Act, 1995, provides for the establishment and composition of the Board of Directors and stipulates that it shall consist of six members, including the Permanent Secretaries in the Ministries responsible for transport in Tanzania and Zambia, and four other members with experience in either transport, commerce, industry or finance appointed by the Ministers responsible for transport in Tanzania and Zambia, respectively.
Zambia is landlocked , there is no reason why Tazara should be struggling….
They are still figuring that out. Over 40 years of running and still no vision.
Just a clueless bunch of operatives drawn from the “die hard” cadre crop to manage critical economic infrastructure that has seen erosion all because political expediency overshadowed the importance of the national railways in the country’s economy! Expertise melted away as functioning of ZR became obsolete! TAZARA too started getting “no vision” political appointments by Zambia with no appreciation to Zambia being landlocked!
TAZARA appointments new Directors???
The never ending RECYCLE, no continuations in planning and development.
” TAZARA appointments new directors ”
Oops ,looks like LT needs to hire new writers and editors too.
Congratulations indeed to Mr John Sichalwe in particular! No doubt your rich Zambia Railway experience will be a reservoir of the much needed strategic prowess for the TAZARA venture.
Nice English LT. Can you appointment me as your Chief Editor?
I was on a train a few days ago and my God the standard have dropped. Just about two months that train would full. It’s becoming dirty by the week. Work on time and cleaness .once upon a Time we used to reach Tanzania at 10 hrs in the morning and now it 18hrs to 12 midnight. It’s a shame. We have solutions and you can all the business from the buses.
