Yes , the clock tower was built by Galanos , a greek millioner who came in tanganyika at early years of the 20th century . He was from a mountainous greek village and came here as a poor young boy .

David said that the Clock Tower was built by a wealthy Greek man just after WWII.

Recalled his name as Galanos, the same man that contributed the building in Dar es Salaam.

He had a relation who was shot in the Safari House Hotel (newly built by another Greek) after a dispute thought to be involving money.

Think that the Arusha Clock Tower was built by a man called Galanos.

She also mentioned a man called Anatogolou, who donated the Parliament Hall in Dar es Salaam.

One of them had a daughter called Alma, and MK went to school with her. The father (either Galanos or Anatogolou) also owned sisal estates in Morogoro, Lindi and possibly Dar. Maybe also lived in the Usumbara Mountains.
