Finance Minister Ambassador Khamis Mussa Omar said a newly built, state-of-the-art office complex for the Ministry of Finance will significantly improve service delivery by providing a modern and efficient working environment for public servants.
Omar made the remarks during an inspection tour of the new ministry headquarters at the Government City in Mtumba, Dodoma, accompanied by his two deputies, Laurent Luswetula and Engineer Mshamu Ali Munde, alongside senior ministry officials led by Permanent Secretary Dr. Natu El-maamry Mwamba.
“This modern facility will enable our staff to work more efficiently and serve citizens and stakeholders more effectively,” Omar said. “It reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening public institutions through improved infrastructure.”
The minister thanked President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s sixth-phase administration for facilitating the construction and near-completion of the building, describing it as part of broader efforts to modernise government operations following the relocation of key offices to Dodoma.
Omar also urged ministry staff to safeguard the facility and ensure that its security and safety systems are properly managed.
“This is a national asset. Its sustainability depends on how well it is protected and maintained,” he said.
Deputy ministers Luswetula and Munde said the building meets high international standards and demonstrates the government’s focus on quality and long-term value in public infrastructure investments.
Providing a technical update on behalf of the permanent secretary, project supervisor Engineer Japhet Mkwamira said construction of the 11-storey building—the tallest government structure currently in the Mtumba Government City—has reached 98% completion.
The project is being implemented by main contractor Estim Construction Co. Ltd, with the National Housing Corporation (NHC) serving as the lead project consultant in collaboration with IPA Architects Ltd on design and construction supervision.
The completion of the new finance ministry headquarters underscores Tanzania’s push to centralise government services in Dodoma while improving efficiency, coordination and institutional capacity across key economic ministries.
