Engineer faces the music over building scandal

Some of us Engineers does what they don’t know and makes strange like what happened at Chang’ombe Village Hotel. But may be is just for those lazy/ignorant engineers who don’t care about their technical working principals.

The Prime Minister, Edward Lowassa, has suspended the Temeke Municipal Engineer, Ayubu Bahati, for turning a blind eye to a construction project of a four-storey building that collapsed on Friday.

The developer didn’t have the requisite documents for the project, which was undertaken shoddily, thereby posing grave risks to the would-be occupiers upon completion.

Part of the ground floor served as a bar in which some patrons were having recreation, and from which most fled to safety upon sensing trouble, as well as heeding loud, desperate messages from outside, that the building was collapsing.

Some bodies have been recovered from the rubble and a yet to be specified number of people are feared to have died in the wake of the incident that shocked many residents of Dar es Salaam and beyond.

Speaking at the site yesterday, the visibly angry and upset PM announced: ’’I am suspending the municipal engineer immediately, until further notice.’’

As he spoke, Lowassa pointed a finger at the engineer, who was placed under police custody shortly afterwards, alongside Temeke Municipal Director Iddi Nyundo.

The pair will be questioned on the project, an annex of the Chang’ombe Village Hotel.

Besides the dead and injured, the incident has produced at least one psychological victim one Mama Massawe, wife of the owner of the ill-fated building.

She collapsed from shock after learning that her husband’s building had collapsed, and has been admitted to St. Bernard Hospital in the city for treatment.
