A Kenyan investor, Burhani Taibali, is planning to spend
about 800m/- to build a salt refinery at Monga Ward in Mkinga District, Tanga
Region.
The investor, who is the managing director of Danson Food
Products Ltd based in Kenya, told Tanga Regional Commissioner (RC), Ms Chiku
Galawa, who paid a visit to the salt farm over the weekend that the
construction process would start soon.
Mr Taibali said almost all the initial processes for the
project have been accomplished and what was underway now, was to bring building
materials to the site.
"Already we have got enough money for the project,
environment assessment has been done also. In fact, we are collaborating
positively with the government here. This gives us hope for our
investment," he said before the RC.
He said currently they have been harvesting salt from the
farm, but they have to export it to Mombasa, Kenya for refinery process, before
reaching the market,something which increases the production costs.
Mr Taibali said the establishment of the refinery industry
at the farm site would reduce the production costs, enabling them to sell their
products at a cheaper price.
Explaining about the direct benefit that the
residents in Mkinga District would get from the project, Mr Burhani said that
about 2,000 people would get direct employment at the factory, reducing poverty
in many households.
Apart from employment, the investor said the community
development projects like schools and dispensaries would be established, since
the national policy requires an investor to extend support for social
development projects in the surrounding areas.
The Monga Ward Councillor for Mr Hassan Bakari Alli had
commended the investment process, saying it would be of great benefit to people
around his ward,in terms of employment and poverty eradication.
He pledged to mobilise the community so that they
collaborate with the investor, to make sure that the project was accomplished
at the right time for the benefit of all.
Ms Galawa had welcomed the investor,
but urged that he must pay due revenue to the government, so that the state
could benefit from its decision of welcoming
