    It is high time for government of Tanzania to make serious decisions. I support the move of exploiting uranium, i wish it could have started some years back. Uranium is one of the best reliable sources of energy particularly electricity. The exploitation of uranium will catalyse industrialization of our country, hence economic development and attract reliable investor who will create jobs, and well-being of the citizens. However, knowledgeable and skilled local people in the country is key citizens to own and manage their resources. Precautions of environmental issues should be taken into account by formulating wider stakeholders participatory policy and Act. The government should act systematically so that by set date, it materialize. We need energy and manage our resources for public interest. Those companies which will be involved in the exploitation should set win-win profit share of at least 51 by 49 otherwise stop the exploitation Thanks
