by various youth groups and graduates and encourages more
young people to emulate them.

that are doing a great job in various projects including agricultural ones.

said and added that elders should insist on ethics and integrity.
On the war against drugs
trafficking, the premier said Tanzania still faces a challenge as drug trafficking cases take longer
in the courts, for example, out of 368 of such cases filed in court between
2010 and July, this year, only 91 have been ruled and 245 are still in court.

to encourage those in the frontline against drugs trafficking and when possible
promote and reward officers sacrificing their lives to keep Tanzania free of
drugs.

set to succeed.

establishment and the Ministry of Water will review the Water Act in order to
broaden sources of income for the Fund,” he said.
He asserted that the opposition camp
in Parliament should learn to conduct themselves in a civilized manner and stop
the culture of boycotting Parliament sessions.
