Be balanced, Sumaye advices

-

Katesh. The former Prime Minister, Mr Frederick Sumaye, and the longest serving MP for Hanang, has cautioned Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) leaders not to disregard everything said by opposition leaders.

Addressing Hanang councillors, he said it would be a grave mistake to assume that opposition parties were there merely to undermine the ruling party and development programmes taking place.

He noted that it was equally wrong for the opposition to disregard development programmes initiated by the ruling party because there was clear evidence that something was taking place in Hanang.

The former PM said he believed credit for development efforts being made in Hanang and other parts of the country should not necessarily be associated with any political party but members of the public who were actually implementing them.

"Leaders have the right to make their manifestos known but when it comes to development projects, they should collaborate to ensure their successful implementation," he pointed out.

Mr Sumaye's remarks have come as Hanang District, a constituency he served as MP for 20 years (1985-2005), has seen stiff competition between CCM and opposition parties.

The district has a total of 36 councillors, equally divided between CCM and the opposition. The main opposition party in the area, Chadema, has 17 councillors while the Civic United Front (CUF) has one, making a total of 18 councillors for opposition parties.

Mr Sumaye, who is also on record as the longest serving PM (1995-2005), called on Hanang leaders to support the government and people to ensure successful implementation of development projects.
His remarks were echoed by Special Seats MP Ms Rose Kamili (Chadema) who called on the councillors to supervise expenditure of funds in their respective areas and that no approved project should be denied funds.

The outspoken politician warned that she would not keep quiet when funds approved for implementation of development projects were squandered, adding that leaders should bury their political differences to ensure proper expenditure of public funds.

For her part, the Hanang District Commissioner, Ms Christina Mndeme, called on the residents not to sell their food because there were signs of an impending food shortage in the area.

She warned the Hanang people not to bank their hopes on emergency food, instead she urged them to preserve whatever they had before the next harvest which also would depend on favourable weather conditions.
