The Political Committee of the CCM Dar es Salaam Region has asked the Rural and Urban Roads Agency (TARURA) to plan properly to repair roads damaged by rain and potholes, to repair them quickly before they cause more damage.

The Regional Commissioner of Dar es Salaam, Albert Chalamila has said that the areas that have major challenges are Ubungo and Kigamboni Districts and that President Dr. Samia has already approved funds through the second phase of DMDP which will reduce road challenges to a large extent in those districts.
