Tanzania and Uganda are planning a $2.7 billion joint venture to develop a new railway line and ports on Lake Victoria to cope with increased trade from the East African hinterland.
The new 800km long railway will link a proposed multibillion dollar deep water port at Mwambani Bay in Tanga, with Musoma on Lake Victoria, with onward connection to Kampala and Juba.
