YAPI MERKEZI Company has begun settling a 2.6bn/- levy obligation owed to Nzega District Council, with the first instalment already paid as part of an agreed payment arrangement linked to the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).
Deputy Minister for Transport David Kihenzile disclosed in the National Assembly yesterday while responding to a basic question from John Luhende (Bukene-CCM), who sought clarification on when Yapi Merkezi would settle the amount owed to the council.

Mr Kihenzile said Yapi Merkezi, the contractor responsible for the construction of Section Four of the SGR from Tabora to Isaka, has already begun implementing an agreement for the payment of levies on construction minerals used in the project, particularly those extracted from borrow pits under the jurisdiction of Nzega District Council (Rural).

He noted that the company paid 66m/- in March 2026 as the first instalment of the levy payments.
