Voters will assess our performance over the past five years, so it is our duty to inform them about the achievements made under President Samia Suluhu Hassan\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>If we fail to communicate what has been done, we will be doing an injustice,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged councillors to oversee and complete unfinished projects in their respective wards to ensure they begin serving the intended purpose and addressing community needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must be diligent in managing these projects to ensure completion. We previously instructed all councillors to identify stalled projects so that we can resolve the challenges hindering their progress,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Makole Ward Councillor Omari Haji highlighted significant achievements in his ward, noting that most of his campaign promises had been fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>There has been substantial progress in Makole Ward. The Makole Health Centre has provided services to many people and construction of an integrated building is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>A large percentage of the promises I made have been delivered,\u201d said Mr Haji. Similarly, Ihumwa Ward Councillor Edward Magawa expressed gratitude to President Samia and other leaders for effectively implementing the ruling party\u2019s manifesto in his ward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appreciate the President and all leaders for their commitment to fulfilling the manifesto. In Ihumwa, we have successfully constructed three new primary schools, a health centre, and a dispensary. As we near the end of our term, we aim to ensure these facilities fully benefit our people,\u201d said Mr Magawa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Tanzania<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
