I will be strict and firm when it comes to deal with issues such as corruption, carelessness, and fraud; I have watched and learned a lot during the five years I have been under President John Magufuli\u2019s administration,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Giving his stand as he addressed the ruling party\u2019s National Congress meeting at the Jakaya Kiwete Hall in Dodoma yesterday, Dr Mwinyi reiterated that people should expect him once elected, to come up with the leadership style resembling that of the Union president when it comes to matters hindering development.<\/p>\n<p>There have been rumours across the country especially in the Isles that cited Dr Mwinyi\u2019s politeness as a weakness in the fight against rampant corruption in Zanzibar.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that, Zanzibar needs a leader of President Magufuli\u2019s caliber to redress the situation currently in the Isles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are speculations that I am too polite, but I have learned from you (referring to President Magufuli) that there are things that need one to be strict and firm, and I will do so without hesitation. I dare say that once I am elected I will be a good leader because of what I have learned from you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He recounted that during his political journey, he has been blessed to work under three presidents.<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging, former President Benjamin Mkapa as the one who helped him open the chapter of his political journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a young lad aged 33 years and a Member of Parliament representing Mkuranga; Former President Mkapa appointed me to be the Deputy Minister of Health and that is when my political journey officially began,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n<p>He further thanked the fourth phase President Jakaya Kikwete, that in his ten years reign he was among his cabinet ministers. He was appointed to be the Minister of State Vice-Presidents&#8217; office (Union affairs), Minister of Health and Minister of Defense and National services.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Mwinyi further recognised Zanzibar\u2019s President Ali Mohammed Shein, noting that he has learned a lot from him and promising him that his prudence and wisdom have also rubbed off on him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: MARY RAMADHANI AfricaPress-Tanzania: ZANZIBAR\u2019s CCM presidential flag bearer, Dr Hussein Ali Mwinyi, has vowed to act tough on corruption, theft and embezzlement of public resources, if elected, warning all individuals who harbor feelings that he is too polite.
