THE new fire and rescue facility under construction at the Abeid Aman Karume International Airport (AAKIA) is nearing completion, it was revealed here yesterday.
President Ali Mohamed Shein was informed
here yesterday when he visited the area. “We are on track with about 92
per cent of the work finished.
Soon the project would be completed,”
the airport’s Chairman of the Board, Abdulghani Himid Msoma told
President Ali Mohamed Shein who toured the project. He said that 310m/-
out of 335m/- have been spent on the project and that engineers worked
hard to meet the deadline.
The Commissioner of Fire and Rescue
Department, Ali Abdalla Malimosi, joined the minister responsible for
special department, Haji Omar Kheri, to promise good quality work done
by the local contractors.
Construction of the building which had
stalled for quite follows Dr Shein’s order to have the building
completed within two months from October 4 this year. The President said
having an unfinished structure at the airport was tarnishing its image
to the outside world.
“I commend the administration and the
engineers for responding well to my order, I thank you all,” Dr Shein
said. AAKIA has been undergoing improvement, including expansion by
building Terminal II.
