CCM Deputy Secretary General for Mainland, John Mongella, has expressed confidence in the party’s readiness for the upcoming Local Government and General Elections.

 His optimism follows a review of the implementation of the party’s 2020-2025 Manifesto, based on the recent report he received from the Shinyanga Regional Office.

Mongella highlighted that the positive progress in implementing the manifesto's promises suggests a likely decisive victory for the party.

 Currently on a seven-day tour of Shinyanga Region, Mongella has urged both regional and local leaders to focus on community development.

He also emphasized President Samia Suluhu Hassan's dedication to improving citizens' lives through the timely provision of agricultural inputs and educational support for farmers.

In discussing agriculture, Shinyanga Regional Commissioner Anamringi Macha reported a significant decline in cotton production due to heavy rains last season.

 However, yields for other crops, such as tobacco and rice, remain satisfactory. He assured that the government is committed to the timely execution of all projects outlined in the 2020-2025 election pledges.
 
Mongella underscored the vital role of youth in development activities, emphasizing their importance in the national workforce and the need for modern agriculture and technology to boost productivity.

He praised the government's development projects, including road, hospital, and school construction, which have strengthened public trust in the party. Mongella noted that the government’s promises are being fulfilled and that citizens are witnessing positive changes.

In the health sector, Mongella commended improvements in healthcare services, including better availability of medicines and medical supplies.

The advancements have contributed to reduced maternal and child mortality rates and enhanced service quality. He also advocated for increased health education efforts.

Mongella acknowledged the efforts of regional leaders in fighting corruption and fraud, stressing that such practices impede development. He encouraged citizens to expose corrupt individuals and support ethical leadership.

Additionally, Mongella addressed environmental conservation, urging the people of Shinyanga to plant trees and protect water sources. He affirmed that environmental protection is a shared responsibility and that the government will continue to support these initiatives.

During his tour, Mongella will visit Shinyanga Town, Kahama, Msalala, Ushetu, and Shinyanga Rural, where he will hold both internal and public meetings.
