The parliamentary candidate for Mtama constituency emphasized the President’s compassionate approach to governance, noting substantial improvements in political participation and job creation.

The government will continue providing subsidized fertilizers, pesticides, and affordable farming equipment to support this transition.

The President also committed to improving rural healthcare infrastructure, ensuring quality medical services reach remote communities. These comprehensive initiatives demonstrate a holistic approach to national development, focusing on economic empowerment, political inclusivity, and social welfare.
