DAR ES SALAAM’S Ilala Municipal have fined some high-rise building owners for breaching construction permits and failed to incorporate parking lots within the structures.
The Dar Regional Commissioner (RC), Mr Paul Makonda said today during the opening of the longest and widest cable-stay bridge in East Africa—Kigamboni saying that so far the municipal fines have reached 3.0bn/-.
“Ilala has heralded my directive well.The permits clearly showed that the building should have parking lots but they were built against specifications,” Mr Makonda said.
Fortnight ago the RC directed all high-rise building owners who have breached their permits to either demolish their buildings, paying fines or showing alternative ways of parking.
Most high-rise buildings are located in Ilala municipality that controls central business district (CBD).
