She said that the news about President Samia and Mwinyi meeting on the eve of Mapinduzi Day gives hope to Tanzanians on how both leaders are collaborating to make Tanzania the best place to live for all, regardless of their political affiliation, race and religion.<\/p>\n

Zanzibar National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) Chairperson Mr Ali Amour said, \u201cPresident Mwinyi deserves to be given enough credit for the work he has done in the country and his vision for a stable country in all aspects.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a commendable and wonderful speech. The president touched on all sectors of the economy and measures taken to recover from the devastating impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic. We, business people are in support of his plans,\u201d the ZNCC boss said.<\/p>\n

Mr Amour said President Mwinyi has been moving on well as he involves private sector, taking steps to introduce corporate culture in parastatals for efficiency and better delivery of services at all levels.<\/p>\n

Mr Ibrahim Omar, a secondary school teacher said the president mentioned many key areas that the government intends to improve, which included workers\u2019 welfare and exploiting the blue economy fortunes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a speech full of our expectations, as Dr Mwinyi begins his second year in office since he was elected in 2020. Our great expectations rely on the blue economy agenda that has inspired many,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He observed that even the 58th Zanzibar revolutions celebrations programme at Amani Stadium was good and entertaining, adding: \u201cIt was short and allowed people to leave the venue before the scorching sun\u2026I believe many people were comfortable with this year\u2019s event.\u201d Ms Yasmin Aloo- a ruling party CCM supporter at celebration said Zanzibar has made significant progress, bringing to end long-standing social and economic inequalities that existed during colonial regime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe country has been progressing well in the past 58 years and in fact, no sector has been left behind \u2013 infrastructure, housing, health, education, tourism, sports and now blue economy are sectors that contribute significantly to Zanzibar\u2019s economy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said that the level of achievements gives a chance for the CCM party to grip in power because people get what they expect. She also called on Zanzibaris to support Mwinyi\u2019s blue economy agenda, which is highly expected to give admirable results in propelling the economy.<\/p>\n

During his speech, Dr Mwinyi said Zanzibar economy gradually recovered last year from the Covid-19 induced recession, with a 2.2 per cent GDP growth in the first quarter (January-March) of last year compared to 1.8 per cent in the previous year\u2019s corresponding period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe impressive economic performance is attributable to increased investment projects, improved tourism and trading sectors,\u201d said the president.<\/p>\n

The impressive economic growth led to increased tax revenues, with 745.1bn\/- collected in the January \u2013November 2021, a 22 per cent increase from 610.5bn\/- in the corresponding period in 2020.<\/p>\n
