CCM Secretary General Dr Emmanuel Nchimbi has issued a warning to what he termed non-performing Members of Parliament, stating that the party will not tolerate underperformance.

Speaking at a public rally in Maswa East constituency in Simiyu Region, Dr Nchimbi affirmed the party's support for MPs who actively advocate for the interests of their constituents. 

He emphasized that the party stands behind MPs who effectively raise public issues and ensuring their concerns are directed to the appropriate authorities for resolution. 

"I support MPs who fight for the interests of the public and drive positive change. It is crucial for them to represent their constituents' voices and overcome any obstacles to development," he said.

Dr Nchimbi noted that MPs who fail to maintain good relationship with the public often misunderstand the people's needs and challenges.

 He warned that such trends could hinder development and accountability in their areas, stating: "When the time comes, we will gradually reduce their numbers."

He praised Stanslaus Nyongo, MP for Maswa East, for his efforts in securing development for his constituents. 

Nyongo highlighted significant improvements in water access, noting that in 2015, rural access was below 10 percent. Ongoing projects have raised the figure to 68 percent with urban areas now at 74 percent.

 He mentioned that the government has allocated 1bn/- for a one-million-litre water storage tank and 712m/- for laying water pipes in urban areas.

"In terms of health, our district hospital previously lacked an X-ray machine but thanks to the government, we now have one. We have also received 900m/- to construct a laboratory building for the service," he said.
