A SECTION of Ugandans and Kenyans have hailed President John Magufuli for his exemplary steps in reviving the ailing economy, calling upon all Tanzanians to support him.
In a face to face interview with this reporter who was in Uganda’s capital city, Kampala, recently, Muteebi Sembatya (45) who owns a wholesale shop in Kampala, said he was highly impressed by Dr Magufuli.
”He is indeed a man of action. Tanzanians should support him in this noble task,” he said. Amina Twin-Omugisha (32), a secondary school teacher based in Masaka, Uganda’s second largest city, said most Ugandans were closely monitoring events taking place in Tanzania, after Dr Magufuli was elected fifth president.”
We hail President Magufuli and Premier Kassim Majaliwa. We pray for them to succeed in their efforts,” she said. Abeli Awori (54), a transporter from Mombasa, Kenya, said many Kenyans were impressed by Dr Magufuli in recovering unpaid revenue citing a recent move to recover over 10bn/- unpaid tax from containers at Dar Port.
Several Kagera residents also praised Dr Magufuli for trimming the cabinet. Juliana Mwombeki (36) from Miembeni ward, in Bukoba Municipality said she was pleased by the integration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation with the Ministry of East African Cooperation.
“This will undoubtedly save a big chunk of money that will be used to improve social services including health and education,” she said.
Meanwhile, Councillors under Bukoba Municipality on Friday elected Chifu Kalumuna from UKAWA, who is also Councillor for Kahororo to become the new Mayor.
He got 13 votes edging Kamala Kalumuna (CCM) who harvested 10 votes. Jimmy Kalugendo, who is also Councillor for Nshambya, becomes Deputy Mayor.
