DODOMA, Tanzania:<\/strong> Tanzania\u2019s Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba said the government would intensify policy reforms aimed at improving service delivery and accountability, signalling continuity in President Samia Suluhu Hassan\u2019s reform agenda as parliament began debating her inaugural address.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the National Assembly<\/a> on Tuesday, Nchemba said public officials would be expected to deliver concrete results and would no longer be tolerated if they relied on procedural explanations instead of timely solutions to citizens\u2019 concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we speak about performance in government, the emphasis is on integrity and accountability to the citizens,\u201d he said, adding that national resources must translate into tangible public benefits.<\/p>\n

Nchemba said President Samia\u2019s address to the 13th parliament in November set out clear priorities for her second term, including economic recovery, institutional reform and inclusive growth. He said the government had already developed short-, medium- and long-term implementation plans across several sectors.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers from the ruling party welcomed the president\u2019s decision to establish an independent commission of inquiry into unrest linked to the October 2025 general election, describing it as a step towards reconciliation. The commission is currently holding public hearings to collect testimony from victims and witnesses.<\/p>\n

Members of parliament also highlighted progress in social and economic reforms, including the rollout of universal health insurance, though some urged the government to review limits on household registration to ensure larger families are not excluded.<\/p>\n

President Samia\u2019s economic agenda targets higher growth, price stability and expanded support for local businesses, with a goal of lifting annual GDP growth to about 7% by 2030. The government has also outlined plans to strengthen capital markets, promote domestic investment and use mineral resources to mobilise financing while easing pressure on public debt.<\/p>\n

The president has said formalising micro, small and medium-sized enterprises will be key to boosting revenue and creating jobs, with authorities aiming to generate up to 8.5 million jobs by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
