From ASSAH MWAMBENE in Arusha,
The Arusha International Conference Centre has vowed to make a major facelift
to its estate facilities especially the residential apartments at Kijenge and Kaloleni
in a move to ensure that the clients enjoy the best services and facilities.
Speaking at the AICC meeting with stakeholders, mostly residential tenants, the
AICC Managing Director, Mr Elishilia Kaaya said the Centre is committed to
improve and modernize its facilities to the client’s satisfaction.
“We are planning to undertake major renovations and routine preventive
maintenance of estates including fixing solar panel lights in most of the roads
within the Kaloleni and Kijenge estates” said Mr Kaaya in a speech read on his
behalf by the Director of Finance and Administration, Mr Savo S. Mung’ong’o.
Mr. Kaaya also noted that already 16 residential units have been re-roofed in the
last financial year and plans were afoot to renovate 32 units, saying this
renovation is over and above the routine maintenance.
He said starting from next month, a contractor, will be on site to renovate the
storm water channel crossing the estate at Kaloleni which caused flooding
recently due to construction of Namanga Arusha Moshi Highway.
The construction of the high way re-directed the storm water channels to the
AICC estate in Kaloleni instead of the earlier direction to Naura spring causing
flooding at Kaloleni estate especially for the housing units near the Soweto Club.
Mr. Kaaya said the organization is also planning to construct a new outpatient
department unit at the AICC hospital facilities in a move to reduce the
congestions at peak hours and improve service delivery to outpatients.
The AICC also briefed their clients on the future plan to construct state of the art
Mount Kilimanjaro International convention centre which will have different halls
and conference facilities including a hall with a capacity of 3000 delegates.
The yesterday’s event was part of the celebration of the Public Service week.
Apart from meeting the estate tenants, AICC is also planning to meeting
conference service clients and the management to meet all staffs on today. All
staff at AICC will also participate in the cleaning of the AICC hospital.
