Zungu Clarifies Investment Role in National Development

Mr Mussa Azzan Zungu, CCM North Unguja Regional Guardian and Speaker of the National Assembly, stated that investment does not equate to selling the country, but rather involves strategic partnerships aimed at job creation and boosting domestic revenue.

Zungu made these remarks on November 7, 2026, during an evaluation visit to the region, where he emphasized the importance of investment in sectors such as port, agriculture, airport, tourism, and hotel, which contribute to youth employment.

He highlighted that such investments allow the government to enhance domestic revenue, which is then allocated to social services like clean water projects, education, housing, and care for the elderly, areas not typically addressed by private investors.

Zungu also outlined directives from the CCM Central Committee, urging a comprehensive review of the party's vitality and public support.
