Govt is rattled as MPs reject power Bill again

Sunday Citizen Newspaper: "Members of Parliament yesterday stunned the Government by rejecting the proposed Electricity Bill for the second time.

The MPs, who were attending a seminar in Dar es Salaam, vehemently opposed plans by the Government to table the Bill, that would lead to enactment of a new Electricity law to liberalise the sector.

The proposed law is intended to end the long monopoly enjoyed by the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) in power transmission and distribution. Members of Parliament yesterday stunned the Government by rejecting the proposed Electricity Bill for the second time.
