Mr. Twange made the remarks on June 24, 2026, in Dodoma while officially opening the Annual Meeting of TANESCO Managers and Zonal Directors, which aims to discuss various matters concerning the utility and the Distribution Directorate.

While commending the managers for their efforts in serving the public, he stressed the need for every manager to take personal responsibility in protecting the utility’s assets by intensifying efforts to eliminate incidents of power infrastructure theft.

“I commend you for the good work you are doing. We are often praised for providing quality services to the public. Now, increase your efforts to ensure that the utility’s assets are protected.
