The minister of transport and public works Jacob Hara says the Tsangano, Neno, Mwanza road construction project is delaying to take shape because "the contractor seriously underquoted" and a remedy to this requires a price adjustment subject to approval by the Public Procurement and Disposal of Assents Authority.

A truck carrying some goods destined for Neno Boma on Monday blocked the road at Asumi, preventing vehicles such as ambulances from entering and leaving the district which has had no tarmac road since time immemorial.

People of Neno district through their council chairperson, Jeseph Chiphaliwali and Traditional Authority Mlauli have experienced disappointment with the vice president’s decision to hold the districts' reform meetings in the neighboring Mwanza district owing to bad road condition.

People of Neno district have asked government to consider constructing them a standard tarmac road, saying the current one is a threat to both people's lives and agricultural activities.
