Dar es Salaam. A number of issues need to be addressed ahead of President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s July 1 deadline for standard gauge railway (SGR) services between Dar es Salaam and Dodoma to commence.

Matters that have yet to be finalised include the announcement of fares, project handover and concluding the procurement of electric multiple units (EMUs).
