Ikigo gishinzwe kuvugurura Tigray (EFFORT) cyasinye amasezerano na sosiyete y’ubuhanga yo mu Bushinwa yitwa ECE Engineering yo kubaka uruganda rwa mbere rwa PVC resin (polyvinyl chloride) mu karere ka Alato muri Mekele, umurwa mukuru wa leta ya Tigray, ku giciro cya miliyari 5 za Birr (miliyoni 250 z'amadolari ya Amerika ukurikije ivunjisha ririho ubu).
Amasezerano ya EPC, yasinyweho ejo muri Sheraton Addis Hotel, yatanzwe nyuma y’igihe kirekire cyo gutanga isoko cyatangiye mu 2012. Nyuma yaho umushinga wongeye gutangwa inshuro nyinshi mbere y’uko amasezerano ahabwa ECE, yemeye kurangiza umushinga mu mezi 30 uhereye igihe imirimo itangiriye.
Biteganijwe ko uru ruganda ruzatanga toni 60.000 za resin ya PVC ku mwaka hamwe n’ubwiza kuva kuri SG1 kugeza kuri SG8. Byongeye kandi, uru ruganda rukora imiti ruzaba rurimo izindi nganda zitandukanye zikora, harimo uruganda rwa chlor-alkali, uruganda rwa vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), uruganda rukora PVC, uruganda rutunganya amazi, uruganda rutunganya imyanda, nibindi.
Umuyobozi mukuru wa EFFORT, Azeb Mesfin, umupfakazi wa Minisitiri w’Intebe wa kera, yahanuye ko umushinga numara kurangira, agaciro uzatanga kazongera cyane umutungo rusange w’itsinda ry’abaterankunga.
Resine ya polyvinyl chloride ni imiti y’ingenzi cyane mu nganda ikenerwa cyane haba mu gihugu no mu mahanga. Impuguke zivuga ko iyi miti ari ingenzi cyane ku bakinnyi, cyane cyane inganda za pulasitiki muri Etiyopiya. Muri iki gihe, amafaranga menshi y’amahanga akoreshwa mu gutumiza ibicuruzwa, cyane cyane mu bihugu bicukura peteroli, kuko ishobora no gukorwa mu mavuta yatetse.
PVC ikomeye ikoreshwa cyane nk'imiyoboro y'amazi mu mikorere yo kugabanya ubushyuhe, mu gihe PVC y'amazi ishobora no gukoreshwa mu gusiga insinga no mu mikorere ijyanye nayo.
Azeb yavuze ko igitekerezo cyo gukora uruganda ari icy'umugabo we kandi ko yishimiye ko umushinga washyizwe mu bikorwa. Yavuze kandi ko SUR na Mesfin Engineering bizagira uruhare runini mu iyubakwa ry'umushinga no kurangiza neza.
Agace k'umushinga gakungahaye ku bubiko bw'amabuye y'agaciro, akaba ari ingenzi mu bikoresho by'ingenzi bya PVC resin.
