Tanga. Why has the Mligazi River bridge, linking Bagamoyo District in Coast Region and Handeni Rural District in Tanga, not been built since Tanganyika attained Independence in 1961, despite existing policies, laws, political and administrative leadership?
This question continues to trouble residents of Kwasunga, Miono, and Kwamsisi villages, who depend on a temporary crossing built from substandard materials.
