President Jakaya Kikwete, who is also the national chairman of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), yesterday cautioned the party's MPs against complacency.
Speaking during the 32nd CCM anniversary celebrations, President Kikwete warned that if the MPs would not tread carefully, they risked losing their seats to the Opposition in next year's General Election.
He was commenting on claims by several CCM regional leaders that some of the MPs had never visited their constituencies since they were elected in 2005.
The President reminded the politicians that they were not elected to pursue their own interests, but to effectively represent their constituents in the National Assembly.
He said he planned to meet the ruling party's MPs in Dodoma later in the year to strategise on how CCM could secure another landslide victory in the coming General Election.
He would also take to task the MPs accused by the regional leaders of having abandoned their constituencies. Explaining the progress made in implementing the promises in the party's previous election manifestoes, the President challenged the CCM leaders to consolidate those gains before the next poll.
He cited the Sh250 billion project to pump water from Lake Victoria to Shinyanga municipality, Kahama town and villages, as one of the biggest achievements. Mr Kikwete directed the Water and Irrigation ministry to reduce connection fees for potential consumers by 50 per cent. The
CCM national anniversary celebrations were held at Kambarage Stadium in the municipality.In Zanzibar, Vice-President Ali Mohammed Shein said the implementation of CCM�s election manifesto was proof of the party�s commitment to serve the nation. Dr Shein was addressing party supporters who staged a procession to mark its 32nd anniversary.
Speaking at the CCM offices in Urban West in Unguja, Dr Shein appealed to Tanzanians to be proud of the progress so far achieved.The Vice-President also appealed to CCM members to make use of the celebrations to reflect on their own contributions to the development efforts.
In Dodoma, Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda said CCM had implemented its election manifesto pledges, exceeding the targets it had set. Speaking at Kikombo village, 40km east of Dodoma municipality, Mr Pinda cited the provision of education, health, and water and the building of infrastructure, especially roads.
"Though our colleagues in the Opposition have been criticising we have recorded tremendous achievements," he said.From Singida, Correspondent Awila Silla reports that Speaker of the National Assembly Samuel Sitta advised the opposition parties to merge and form one strong party if they hoped to unseat the CCM.
Addressing hundreds of supporters at the CCM regional headquarters grounds, Mr Sitta said the new party should have appealing policies for it to win majority support.
He said the needless bickering among the opposition leaders scared away potential supporters. He said there was no need to have many political parties. Mr Sitta said: "But even if they unite under one party now, they will still not be a threat to CCM, which still has a strong base formed by its founders.
" In Karatu, Mussa Juna reports that the NCCR-Mageuzi district secretary, Mr John Bura Dodo, was among 469 people who joined CCM on Friday.
Mr Dodo joined the party during 32nd CCM anniversary celebrations officiated at by Arusha regional chairman Onesmo Ole Nangole.
Speaking after receiving his CCM card, Mr Dodo said he was fed up with "dictatorship within NCCR-Mageuzi", hence his decision to return to the ruling party.
Mr Dodo failed to unseat NCCR-Mageuzi national chairman James Mbatia in the party�s recent elections. Mr Nangole said: "We need to forge a strong unit to recover the constituency from the opposition."Chadema Secretary-General Willibrod Slaa holds the seat.

JK NDIO SURUISHO LA KWELI KATIKA NCHI YETU BAADA YA NYERERE
Is the most popular president in africa continent.
For the first time in decades, tanzania has got the men in the white house(jk), even though still in the grip of fisadi's war, tanzania now seem to be a viable nation heading to the brighter future.

New York,
Tanzania had virtually disappeared from the world news headlines by the past fifteen years , mainly because we didn't have a strong guy in the white house, but now everything is coming back to normal because fisadi's have no place to hide under jk's office
One of the most inhumane and brutal rebel groups of the 20th century in tanzania has been the fisadi'group, the group which doesn't care any body else except their familly members, sheet.

Among the atrocities are the cutting off of limbs, ears, and summary executions carried out on the civilian population. how this is happening in tanzania albino

It would have to be one of the social wonders of 2009 that the government of President Jakaya Kikwete, having gained the upper hand against fisadi's, did not go out and unleash its own ex- government officials and arbitrary arrests on the former president, actions which would have been understandable and even widely condoned by most people in tanzania.
Nimepitia maoni yote ni mazuri, lakini sikuona hata moja linaloendana na ujumbe ulitolewa na Mh.....

Kikwete's longtime confidante has joined millions of tanzanian's to fight fisadi's and corruption. Tanzania opposition parties are blocking the president attempts to approve a free-dom to every tanzania, which will allow them a better life because of ccm party human rights breaking record.

Ndugu Butiku, kuna uwezekano ccm wakatawala mpaka utakapo jua kuandika,kusoma, na kuongea lugha za kigeni kwasababu wanampango wa kufanya kampeni zao kwa kutumia lugha hizo
Sijui kama nimejibu vizuri swali lako mzee

Hapa wa kulaumiwa sio wabunge, ni wananchi wenyewe wanaowachagua viongozi hao baada ya kuleweshwa pombe za bure siku ya uchaguzi na kupeleke wao wenyewe kuwachagua viongozi wabovu

Ukweli wenyewe ndio huo kama alivyosema mchangiaji hapo juu kuwa watanzania matatizo tunayasababisha wenyewe na tunakuwa wepesi wa kulaumu serikali kwa uzembe wetu. Ninashangaa sana wananchi wanamchagua kiongozi kwa sababu ametoa pesa na kuwanunulia vizawadi kidogo.
Ukiangalia wabunge wengi waliopo bungeni sifa za uongozi hawana lakini wameingia bungeni kialali baada ya kuchaguliwa na wananchi wao.
Mh, Rais kazi unayo, lakini baada ya mda huu upuuzi wote utaisha. Sisi wenyewe kwa wenyewe tutaelimishan kwa njia kama hizi.
Kazi njema Jk
Nawapongeza ccm marekani kwa huu mtandao.

This year, the Washington-based international financial institutions have declared Tanzania to be the best macroeconomic performer in Africa, based on such indicators as economic growth, inflation, and public expenditures. After South Africa and Ghana, Tanzania is Africa's third-largest gold producer.
The mining of diamonds and precious stones is another important source of foreign-exchange earnings.
Good job Dr.

Nchi yetu ni tajiri sana lakini watu tuliomo ndio masikini. Hao tunaowachagua watuongoze hata hawaji kutoana tunaendeleaje lakini uchaguzi unapofanyika tunaendelea kuwachagua hao hao, sasa kama huu sio umasikini wa mawazo ni nini?
