The National Petroleum Development Organization (TPDC) has started to implement the steps to start the construction of a pipeline to transport natural gas, with a length of 35 kilometers from Ntorya, Nanguruwe County to Madimba factory, Mtwara region.
The measures have started to be implemented by TPDC by evaluating the property, including the land along the route that is expected to be used to build the pipeline.
The Head of Mtwara District, Dustan Kyobya has launched a project to carry out the assessment, while asking TPDC to fully involve the citizens, chairmen and executives of the areas that will be involved in the construction of the pipeline.
"I should ask TPDC to give a schedule to the village chairmen and all executives to ensure that they participate fully in all the steps involving the construction of the pipeline," he said.
Kyobya has said that the pipeline construction project will bring various benefits to the people, including employment during the construction and operation of the pipeline, opportunities for cleaning jobs, food services and security services.
The TPDC Natural Gas Business Manager, Emmanuel Gilbert, has said that the organization is evaluating the property on the road where the pipe is expected to be laid and to compare the value, so that the people who own the property can be paid.
"The work of building the pipeline is to provide land, and that land does not belong to TPDC, to implement the project, land that is owned by the people is needed," he said and added that the property will be assessed and appraised, where its value will be known, so that the parties can paid their dues.
