Distinguished
Guests,
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Good
afternoon!
Mr. Vice President, Please allow me, on behalf of the Government of the United
Republic of Tanzania, to express my gratitude for this opportunity of signing
with you today, the Loan Agreement
through which your Bank
will provide UA 50 Million (equivalent to USD 70.5
Million or TZS 137.5 Billion) to
promote inclusive growth and enhanced economic competitiveness through power
sector, economic and financial governance reforms. This loan will support the
implementation of the Government’s reform agenda from the fiscal year
2014/2015.
Indeed, the Government and people of
Tanzania appreciate the Bank’s support which will enable the
Government to boost efforts to implement energy sector and other related public
financial management reforms. In particular, we understand that the project
will address the following issues: (i) strengthening the institutional frame
work and operational efficiency of the power sector, (ii) enhancing competition
and private sector participation in power sector, and (iii) improving
Governance through PFM reforms, development initiatives in Tanzania.
Mr.
Vice President, the Government of Tanzania appreciates the
continued support of AfDB in reforming the energy sector in Tanzania. I note
with appreciation that this operation is built on the previous support of USD
58.2 million that was approved by the Board for Tanzania in December 2013, that
supported the development of the Electricity Supply Industry Reform Strategy
and Road Map which were approved by the Government in late 2014.
Mr.
Vice President, the preparation of the documents of this
project and approval of the loan by the Board has involved many people and long
hours of hard work. I want to thank all those who have worked so hard to make
it possible for this agreement to be signed today. Allow me also to thank you
personally, Mr. Vice President, for your efforts in ensuring that all processes
were concluded timely.
Finally,
let me conclude by re-affirming our commitment to the successful implementation
of this project. Further, I also want to reassure you of our continued
commitment towards strengthening the partnership and friendly relationship that
exist between Tanzania and the Bank.
Thank you all once again for your kind
attention.
