Total VP Javier Rielo has assured Tanzania\u2019s president Dr. John Maghufuli that the construction of the Uganda to Tanga pipeline will commence soon.<\/p>\n

Rielo who held talks with the Dr. Maghufuli at state house Dar es Salaam earlier today said the French Oil giant had set aside funds for the project.<\/p>\n

The 1410 kilometer pipeline will transport 200,000 barrels a day from Uganda\u2019s Albertine basin to the port of Tanga is estimated to cost $4 billion.<\/p>\n

On his part Dr. Maghufuli asked that the 3 years timeline set aside for completion for the project be shorted so that the region could benefit from the crude oil.<\/p>\n

Also in attendance minister for energy Prof. Sospeter Muhongo said the project was best suited to complete at the Tanga port given the climate and topography of the route.<\/p>\n

Muhongo added that Tanzania which is also prospecting for oil in the Lake Tanganyika and Lake Eyasi regions hoped the an oil pipeline would also transport any discoveries.<\/p>\n

The concerted effort by both Total and Tanzania to have the route go through the southern route is surely a blow to Kenya who have poured cold water on the Museveni-Maghufuli deal<\/a> terming it subject to discussion<\/a> by East African states at the next summit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
