The project manager Engineer Koyoya Fuko said here that the work began on Monday, this week and it is a joint venture between the Mwanza City Council and the Local Authorities Provident Fund (LAPF). Officials say that the project that is expected to end in two years’ time from now will cost over 60bn/-.

“The centre shall be of unique quality that fits within the framework of Mwanza city, carrying modern and alluring design which also fits within the lake context within which the market shall be created,” says Engineer Fuko. Upon completion, the facility is expected to expand the scope of business opportunities in Mwanza region and also attract both local and foreign investors.

The expert also hinted that the mall will also have a four storey market structure developed within an urban setting and requires a number of design provisions to be made to ensure its functionality. Key among these provisions is 660 vehicles parking and 100 schooters parking which shall be created within and around the market.
He further explained that the construction will enable the large space that would be created around the scheme and it is proposed to have sufficient soft and hard landscape that will be incorporated within the format as well as around the market.
The mixing is expected to create melodious mixture and creates an interesting development all over the building. The market through its atrium would also create openness in its makeup. This openness improves air flow and circulation and thus reducing the market’s cooling needs, he says.

Watu 40 watoweka katika ajali ya meli

Wakuu wa forodha wa Utaliana wanasema watu kama 40 bado wametoweka, baada ya meli ya abiria iliyobeba watu zaidi ya 4000 kwenda mrama katika mwambao wa Utaliana.

Shughuli za uokozi zimeendelea kutwa, huku wazamia mbizi wakipekua upande uliozama wa meli hiyo, Costa Concordia.
Msemaji wa walinzi wa pwani alieleza inawezekana kuwa watu wengine bado wako ndani ya meli.
Abiria wawili kutoka Ufaransa na baharia mmoja kutoka Peru wanajulikana kuwa wamekufa.
Mkuu wa kampuni inayomiliki meli hiyo, Gianni Onorato, alisema ushahidi wa awali unaonesha kuwa meli iligonga mwamba;
nahodha haraka akafuata utaratibu wa kuwatoa abiria melini.
Lakini operesheni ilizuwilika kwa sababu meli yenyewe haraka ilipindukia ubavuni na kuzusha mtafaruku.
Taarifa za karibuni zinaeleza kuwa ofisi ya mashtaka ilimzuwia nahodha baada ya kumhoji.
