Zitto opinion on the prohibition of the President Magufuli about transporting mchanga

Chairman of ACT-nationalists has given its opinion on the prohibition of the President Magufuli reluctance sand ferried abroad claiming the good citizens have asked his opinion on withholding it.

Zitto has opined this through its social network:

Good citizenship they asked my opinion about the withholding of taking out sand mining. These are my answers YES quoted by the newspaper edition Leo Hilo, edition number 500 of 03/08/2017.

"Putting restrictions on transporting golden sand is the right decision was made without first considering the internal capabilities of kuchenjua (refinery).

There have been words have no power of kuchenjua the country, these are the thoughts of Lofa and opium do not. You need 150,000 tons of sand per year could be worthwhile kuchenjua mill (economies of scale) but we are producing 40,000 tons Right. We also need more than 1500MW electricity per year that currently we do not have. What we can do is to first view of this region's potential to produce copper concentrates That to enter into agreements with neighboring countries to bring about their sand here and we will be in the region uchenjuaji center.

Secondly, we need greater investment in electricity generation in order to meet these requirements. Now the debate here is why we blocked before building the capacity? Possible restrictions put forth by President Yes, the solutions will be able to introduce this debate is a debate for many years Sana. There are times Kahama youth were struck vehicles carrying sand stone in anger. We politicians we should raise this matter against sand transported each year. So AMRI President whether to bring debate and agree a strategy to ensure a permanent solution is found.

But also professionals can stay and develop technology capable of making uchenjuaji rate we produce is in the sand. Impossible whole world and technology became one of 150,000 tonnes of course not.

My advice is that the government abide by the mining industry to find a lasting solution to set a fixed time commitment to continue transporting sand and after that time the sand uchenjuliwe our country and create jobs and increase our production capacity. This is not a Zero-Sum game (If not then there is no other transport). NO. Debate can bring a viable solution for the country "
