Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>PRESIDENT Samia Suluhu Hassan has pledged to build 15,000 classrooms countrywide in efforts to ensure that more children are going to school.<\/p>\n

President Samia made the promise at a special general meeting for the Association of Local Authorities of Tanzania (ALAT) held in Dodoma yesterday, insisting that the improvement of education and health sectors was a key priority for her government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make sure that come January next year, all children are admitted to school and in ensuring that we have enough classes, therefore, to cover the shortage we will construct 15,000 classes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The president said there was a deficit of 11,000 classrooms countrywide but her government was determined to surpass the demand.<\/p>\n

The Head of State used the similar occasion to direct all District Executive Officers (DEDs) to channel their revenue collections in development projects, adding that those who would fail to implement the directive would not be tolerated in her government.<\/p>\n

Regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, the president asked health officials to intensify the public awareness campaign, so that all Tanzanians received the vaccine in efforts to reduce the disease in the country.<\/p>\n

She further reiterated that no health official was allowed to force people to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. She said that she had received information that there were some officials, who were going door to door to force people to receive the jabs, insisting that the vaccination is voluntary.<\/p>\n

At the meeting, the Head of State asked ALAT members to share experience in policies, regulations and laws, so that they can offer advice to local government authorities.<\/p>\n

She further asked them to equally offer their advice on the interest of the country in the Commonwealth countries because ALAT was also a member representing the country.<\/p>\n

On budgetary allocations, President Samia said the Ministry of State in the President\u2019s Office Regional Administration and Local Government was an engine of the country\u2019s development that is why 20 per cent of the budget in this financial year (7.3tril\/-) was allocated to the ministry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue allocating funds to this ministry depending on the available budget,\u2019\u2019 she insisted.<\/p>\n

ALAT yesterday conducted its election to elect new leaders of the association, as President Samia requested the new leaders to ensure that Tanzania attained all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially elimination of hunger and poverty.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the occasion, Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa said the Regional Administration and Local Government Ministry was doing a commendable job in implementing development projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my recent working tour of Kigoma, Kagera, Geita and Kilimanjaro regions, I was satisfied that development projects by local government authorities were being implemented well,\u201d said Mr Majaliwa.<\/p>\n

He was supported by the Speaker of the Parliament, Mr Job Ndugai, who commended ALAT for what they have been doing in the implementation of development projects.<\/p>\n

Earlier on, the Minister of State in the President\u2019s Office, Regional Administration and Local Government, Ummy Mwalimu thanked the president for timely disbursing funds for development projects insisting that so far 75bn\/- had been disbursed for construction of 50 health centres.<\/p>\n

She further added that another 7bn\/- had already been disbursed for construction of classes in secondary schools.<\/p>\n

The minister assured Tanzanians that the government was still fully committed to providing free basic education by disputing rumours that the sixth-phase government was contemplating dumping the free basic education policy.<\/p>\n

Ms Mwalimu revealed that during the past two months, the government had provided about 62.4bn\/- in all 184 district councils for free basic education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
