CCM Parents' Wing Vows to Defend Government's Development Agenda

DODOMA: CHAMA Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) Parents’ Wing has pledged to vigorously defend the sixth phase government’s development agenda and firmly confront individuals seeking to undermine or belittle the major projects implemented across the country. Speaking at the opening of the Parents’ Wing National Council meeting held in Dodoma over the weekend, the Wing’s Chairperson, Mr Fadhili Maganya, said the party would not tolerate any attempts to downplay the significant progress achieved under CCM’s leadership. Mr Maganya noted that the Parents’ Wing played a pivotal role in last year’s General Election by campaigning on the strength of the extensive development initiatives implemented under President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s stewardship. “We worked tirelessly to secure CCM’s victory, despite some individuals attempting to diminish the achievements of our government. I will be very firm with anyone who seeks to belittle this work,” he said. He commended members of the Parents’ Wing for their dedication and commitment during the election period and urged them to continue safeguarding the party’s image, promoting unity and strengthening cohesion at all levels. Meanwhile, the National Council adopted four key resolutions, including congratulating President Samia Suluhu Hassan on her resounding victory in the October General Election, describing the outcome as a clear reflection of public trust and confidence in CCM’s leadership.
