At a gathering in Nairobi final 12 months Tanzanian president Samia Hassan and Kenya’s then-president Uhuru Kenyatta signed a deal to permit development of the pipeline in a bid to extend commerce and scale back power prices for each nations.
Nevertheless, the challenge stalled and development has but to start.
Now, following talks in Dar es Salaam earlier this week, Hassan and Kenya’s new president William Ruto agreed to press forward with the challenge.
The settlement is seen as a constructive growth in relations between the 2 east African nations, which have been embroiled in a succession of commerce disputes over a number of years.
The proposed gasoline pipeline will run for about 600 kilometres and is estimated to price round US$1.1 billion (£990 million). Though development of the pipeline is now given the go-ahead, there isn’t a scheduled completion date.
