Tanzania’s Vice-President Philip Mpango has threatened to resign over a prolonged water shortage affecting residents from the northern Mwanga district.
Mr Mpango on Thursday accused contractors working on a major project aimed at supplying water in the region of taking too long time to complete it.
The project worth over $100,000 was started close to 20 years ago, according to Mr Mpango.
“If this project will not be providing water to the locals by June, I will step down. I don’t know what will be the fate of the local administrator and his juniors if I resign,” Mr Mpango said.
“I cannot come here again and tell citizens to wait further for this water, water is life,” he added.
According to government officials accompanying Mr Mpango to Mwanga on Thursday, the project is nearly 90% complete.
Mwanga is one of the seven districts of the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. The district covers an area of 1,831 km², It is bordered to the northeast by Kenya, to the northwest by the Moshi Rural District, to the southwest by Simanjiro District of Manyara Region, and to the south by the Same District.
