Energy Minister Deogratius Ndejembi inspecting the Songea–Mahumbika 220kV power transmission project in Tunduru and issuing a directive to the contractor to resume work. Tunduru, Ruvuma – March 7, 2026 The Minister for Energy, Hon. Deogratius Ndejembi, has given a 14-day ultimatum to the contractor responsible for the 220kV Songea–Mahumbika power transmission project to return to the construction site and resume work immediately. The directive follows the Minister’s dissatisfaction with the slow progress of the project being implemented by Kalpataru Projects International Limited, which is tasked with constructing power substations in Tunduru, Masasi, and Mahumbika districts. Speaking during an inspection visit in Tunduru District, Ruvuma Region, on March 7, 2026, Minister Ndejembi warned that the contractor should not be awarded any other government projects until the current project is completed as agreed in the contract. He also instructed the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Energy to issue a formal warning letter to the contractor. According to the Minister, the government previously held discussions with the company’s leadership in Dodoma, where it was agreed that construction would resume within 25 days after the contractor received payments for outstanding claims made since December 2025. However, Ndejembi said the contractor has yet to return to the project site or resume construction activities. “This contractor is progressing at an extremely slow pace. They were paid in December and we agreed that within 25 days they would return to the site and resume work. The entire period has passed and nothing is happening,” said Ndejembi. The Minister explained that the project was scheduled to be completed within two years, with commissioning expected by the end of this year, but progress has so far reached only about 50 percent completion. The Songea–Mahumbika power transmission project forms part of the government’s broader plan to connect the southern regions of Ruvuma, Lindi, and Mtwara to the national electricity grid, improving reliable electricity supply in the region. “People in the southern regions need reliable electricity, and the government has prioritized resolving this challenge by allocating funds for this project. It is unacceptable for the contractor to delay such an important project,” the Minister emphasized. He added that further action would be taken if the contractor fails to comply with the directive after receiving the warning.
