He managed to bring 120 tribes together, therefore we need to embrace that spirit of working together as one nation,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cArusha is getting out of control, we are getting lost because of tribalism. I urge you to avoid ethnic groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Magufuli said his intention is to turn Arusha into California of Tanzania, but the goal will not be achieved if the residents continue embracing tribalism, which may result into violence and disunity among wananchi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere could be no development without peace, we need peace and unity among us to be able to implement development programmes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Arusha is the headquarters of the East African Community and a centre of tourism in the country, therefore there must be peace and tranquility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must maintain peace and protect all national values, there could be no tourism business in a place where people are divided on tribal basis, this must not be entertained,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Dr Magufuli reiterated that if re-elected in the forthcoming General Election, he will continue to serve all Tanzanians diligently without considering their tribes, colour or political parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI promise to be the president of all Tanzanians, I will serve all of you as required, there is no room for tribalism, racial segregation or political differences in my mind, I believe in serving Tanzanians regardless of their backgrounds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He asked Arusha residents to elect him and all other candidates on CCM tickets, including Mr Mrisho Gambo who is contesting for Arusha Urban constituency.<\/p>\n<p>He said for the past five years, his government experienced difficulties in reaching wananchi in the area because they elected a person who failed to become a link between the government and wananchi.<\/p>\n<p>He said his office decided to set up a strategy by appointing Mr Gambo to become the area Regional Commissioner so that he can also assume the responsibilities of a member of parliament in Arusha urban.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Magufuli stated categorically that Mr Gambo was one of the RCs who helped him to move businesses forward in the past five years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appointed Mr Gambo to become the RC so that he could help me to move the region forward, there was no connection between my government and the MP, therefore today, I would like to thank Mr Gambo for helping me bring changes in this region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The incumbent Head of State also refuted reports that he kicked Mr Gambo from office, saying the Arusha MP candidate asked for permission to vie for the seat, which he accepted and appointed another person to lead the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Gambo asked me for permission to contest for the MP post in Arusha Urban, he said the constituency needs a strong person like him to move businesses forward, I accepted because I believe in his performance, so I urge you to ignore the rumors that I sacked him,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>On the new promises, Dr Magufuli promised to address 10 major challenges facing Arusha residents immediately after election.<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned them as connecting electricity to remaining villages in the region, supplying water to all parts of Arusha, improve roads and bridges in the region, and addressing entrepreneur\u2019s problems in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Others include surveying land to avoid disputes, build a modern stand, connect REA electricity to all people who reside in the outskirt of Arusha city, address the problem of high water bills, which are contrary to the actual amount of water used by wananchi, high tariff paid to the council for collecting garbage, and corruption among some police officers.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Magufuli also promised to continue with the implementation of various projects, including the 520bn\/- water project which is expected to end water problems in Arusha and some parts of Kilimanjaro region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: FLORENCE MUGARULA\u00a0 AfricaPress-Tanzania: CCM Presidential candidate, Dr John Magufuli has asked Arusha residents to shun tribal-linked politics, and instead focus on development issues.
