AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> ZANZIBAR President Dr Hussein Mwinyi has enumerated ten areas of success during his first 100 days of presidency, vowing to intensify his crusade against corruption, theft and embezzlement of public resources.<\/p>\n

President Mwinyi pledged to remain firm against deceitful public servants, charging that all stolen money from the government will finally be returned.<\/p>\n

He revealed that some people have already started surrendering the money to Zanzibar Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Authority (ZAECA)).<\/p>\n

\u201cTake my words; all the stolen money will be returned,\u201d President Mwinyi told a press conference at the State House here last evening, adding: \u201cWe may opt to excuse those returning the money from prosecution but they have to quit public service because they are thieves.\u201d<\/p>\n

He promised to nullify ownerships on all plots, which were fraudulently acquired and fairly reallocate them to the deserved Islanders.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m aware that during the campaign, some people were busy looting land, all these plots will have their title deeds quashed.\u201d Dr Mwinyi highlighted the Government of National Unity (GNU) as one of his greatest achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the reconciliation of our political differences, Zanzibar is calm and all Zanzibaris are united…they are all yearning for social and economic development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Other achievements include formation of the government, especially the appointment of ministers, permanent secretaries, regional commissioners and district commissioners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still have some few slots to fill but we are almost done with the govern ment formation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The eighth phase government has signed two ambitious deals with foreign investors to spearhead the blue economy, which President Mwinyi has vowed to pursue for the country\u2019s economic transformation.<\/p>\n

The Isles leader further made reference to infrastructure development; stakeholders\u2019 meetings; accountability in public service; good governance; cooperation with the private sector and the fight against sexual abuses as areas that his administration has scored high in the first 100 days.<\/p>\n

Dr Mwinyi\u2019s new government has instituted sweeping disciplinary measures, including dismissals and suspensions against public officers alleged to have abused offices or embezzled public resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have so far suspended over 80 senior government officers, pending investigations over their alleged misconducts,\u201d said Dr Mwinyi, adding: \u201cThe war against corruption and theft is continuous as long as I am in the
\noffice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citing improved revenue collections, Dr Mwinyi said the government, through Zanzibar Revenue Board (ZRB),
\ncollected 101bn\/- in December, 2020, an increase of over 80 per cent from the 55bn\/- collected in October 2020.<\/p>\n

Fielding questions from editors and journalists soon after presenting a summary of his 100 days in the country\u2019s
\ntop office, Dr Mwinyi said although he doesn\u2019t expect to \u201cexhume graves,\u201d there are many cases under ZAECA
\nand various courts in the country that the government will ensure they are pursued to their fair conclusion.<\/p>\n

He pleaded with all Zanzibaris to support the government initiatives on development and the fight against
\ncorruption, saying: \u201cIf we remain united and work hard, the future is bright for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zanzibar has not been the same, at least within the 100 days, which President Mwinyi has spent in the Vuga-based State House.<\/p>\n

Zanzibaris have in the 100-day period witnessed President Mwinyi\u2019s firm commitment to unite the Islanders
\nand promote peace and tranquility, as well as instill discipline and accountability in public services.<\/p>\n

Majority Islanders have positively embraced their leader and are nursing great hopes on the country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould Dr Mwinyi maintain the speed he has demonstrated in these few days, the future for Zanzibaris is
\nbright,\u201d says Maulid Ahmed Salum, a fish dealer at Darajani market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
