Zanzibar President Dr Ali Mohamed Shein has said the government of national unit (GNU) has succeeded in sustaining peace and tranquility since its formation in November 2010.
Addressing a public rally after laying the
foundation stone at the Bopwe East branch, in Pemba Islana where he
pledged to contribute 5m/- out of the 8.7m/- needed to complete the
branch, said the GNU has set a precedent for other nations to follow.
He said the cabinet has been working in
unity putting national interests at fore. "My ministers and I work
together; this is in spite the fact that it is formed by members from
CCM and CUF, what matters to us is national interests in serving the
people," said Dr Shein.
He said under the GNU, he will continue
leading the country respecting the constitution of the United Republic
of Tanzania and that of Zanzibar. "We shouldn’t mix party politics with
government affairs,” stressed Dr Shein.
He said that the GNU has provided to be a
role model for other nations to follow, as many ambassadors; including
representatives of UN organisations have been flocking to Zanzibar to
learn how it worked.
"The GNU is here to serve the people, the
goal being to see that their lives improve. I serve for no other purpose
than the wellbeing of the people," stressed Dr Shein.
The GNU was formed by CCM, which won many
seats in the presidential elections in 2010 and CUF, which by far
scooped more seats compared to other opposition parties.
