\nAfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> CCM Zanzibar presidential candidate Dr Hussein Mwinyi on Friday pledged financial and technological support to small entrepreneurs but asked them to come together and form strong associations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easier to reach and support you if you are together under strong groups than if you operate in isolation,\u201d Dr Mwinyi told various entrepreneurial groups, which he met during his newly introduced campaign style that entails meeting specific groups of potential voters.<\/p>\n

Responding to Mgagadu Bodaboda Group\u2019s request to have their business formalised, the presidential hopeful promised to work on the request if endorsed for the Zanzibar presidency in the October 28, 2020 General Elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf all other small businesses are formal, there is no justification for yours to remain informal,\u201d Dr Mwinyi told the jubilant entrepreneurs in the motorbike riding at Mgagadu village in Mkoani District.<\/p>\n

Pemba South Regional Chairman of motorcyle riders Kasim Juma Hamis assured the presidential aspirant of at least 650 votes from bodaboda riders but decried a myriad of problems that haunt their business, especially financial constraints.<\/p>\n

Describing Dr Mwinyi as \u201cOur president waiting for oath,\u201d Mr Juma asked for specifically designed and affordable insurance packages and soft loans for the youth.<\/p>\n

The CCM presidential aspirant also met food vendors, fishermen, vegetable growers, seaweed farmers and soap makers among other entrepreneurs in Mwambe, Kiwani and Michenzani suburbs in Pemba south region\u2019s Mkoani District.<\/p>\n

He pledged to intensify the government-financed economic empowerment fund to meet the financial needs of entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy key goal is to accelerate Zanzibar economic growth and it\u2019s through you that we can together attain that objective,\u201d Dr Mwinyi promised, asking for votes.<\/p>\n

Entrepreneurs, mostly women in Mwambe Ward, assured the presidential aspirant of votes, saying: \u201cWithin you we see a bright future for us, especially women.\u201d<\/p>\n

CCM\u2019s Mkoani parliamentary seat candidate Professor Makame Mbarawa boasted of landslide victory in the coming general elections, saying: \u201cPemba people have changed, they are not the Pembas of 2010 and 2015…all they need today is development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Mwinyi implored Pemba residents to vote for CCM candidates and wait for economic and social development.<\/p>\n

\u201cVote for CCM, the only party that preaches peace and unity among wananchi…snub all parties that advocate violence and hatred amongst people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He promised provision of high quality social services, especially education, health and electricity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to take health services close to the people …patients should not walk long distances to get treatment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Mwinyi launched his campaigns in Pemba on Wednesday, promising to transform Pemba Island into Zanzibar\u2019s fishing and fish processing hub.<\/p>\n

After the successful campaign rally at Old Gombani grounds, the presidential seeker had two days of face-to-face campaigns with special groups under his \u201cscientific campaign\u201d drive.<\/p>\n

The youthful presidential hopeful was expected to fly to Unguja this evening\u00a0ahead of his second public campaign meeting in Unguja at Nungwi on the outskirts of Zanzibar city on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
