Dodoma Urban MP, Anthony Mavunde, has reaffirmed his commitment to improving the livelihoods of small-scale traders at Sabasaba Market in Dodoma City.
Speaking during a meeting with members of the Twiga Group, a small traders’ association, Mavunde unveiled new economic projects aimed at boosting their incomes and enhancing their financial stability.
The MP expressed his gratitude to President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan for her government’s continued investment in upgrading Dodoma’s market infrastructure.
He acknowledged the positive impact of these developments, which have significantly improved the working environment for traders.
“I am here today not just as your MP but as a fellow member of the Twiga Group, which we founded together,” Mavunde said.
“It gives me great joy to see your dedication to expanding economic projects. I am committed to supporting you so that you can achieve economic independence.”
To further this commitment, Mavunde announced several initiatives.
These include a clean water project for Sabasaba Market traders, a 55-inch television for showcasing football matches as a business venture, and a TZS 5 million contribution to strengthen the group's fund.
These projects are in addition to the vegetable farming project he had previously provided to the group.
Twiga Group Patron, Mama Anna Nyigana, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Mavunde for his continued support.
She commended his efforts in empowering the traders and assured him of the group’s dedication to ensuring the success of the initiatives.
“We are grateful for your unwavering commitment to our economic development.
We will manage these projects responsibly to ensure they bring significant benefits to all group members,” she said.
The traders also took the opportunity to applaud President Samia for her efforts in improving market infrastructure across Dodoma City, highlighting how these advancements have created a more conducive environment for their businesses to thrive.
