Govt finally ends Rites marriage AT last the long criticized operations of the Tanzania Railway Limited under the auspices of the Indian Rites consortium will soon come to an end following a 60-day contract termination notice served to Reli Assets Holding Company (RAHCO), the government has announced. Speaking during a half an hour Q & A session in Dodoma yesterday, the Prime Minister, Mizengo Pinda, said the government in collaboration with other stakeholders would go through all details of the contract to make sure that the bearing of any decision would help increase efficiency. �Sluggish operations of TRL have greatly affected economic activities of many people along the central railway line, including myself from Mpanda. We (government) will go for the best choice for the benefit of the nation,� he said. Responding to a question by Juma Siraju Kaboyonga, MP, Tabora who demanded clarification from government on endless friction between TRL management and workers, the situation that caused massive loss of resources, Pinda said the objective was to improve the infrastructure for improved services. In the recent past, TRL workers were engaged in a go-slow and categorically rejected the idea put forward by the management to have the alleged unserviced passenger coaches put on test from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma citing safety reasons. It was reported that some officials from the Surface and Marine Transport Authority, Sumatra, took special interest in the matter by taking sides with the management of TRL to an extent of inviting riot police to push for the workers� compliance, but all was in vain. TRL took over from the Tanzania Railways Corporation, TRC, which according to some analysts provided comparatively better services than what the new investor TRL has been providing. The locomotives that previously functioned to a reasonable extent and the wagons put on service in major workshops in Dar es Salaam, Morogoro and Tabora appeared dilapidated following a series of disputes that undermined efficiency.
