The transport officers also took the opportunity to express their gratitude to President Samia Suluhu Hassan for constructing their regional office in Makole, a development they described as a significant boost to their sector.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Mavunde, who is running on a CCM ticket for the newly established Mtumba constituency, thanked President Samia for her dedication to empowering the transport sector.

Mr. Mavunde also praised the operators for their continued cooperation in advancing the sector and assured them that, if elected as Member of Parliament, he would focus on initiatives aimed at enhancing their financial stability, improving infrastructure at motorcycle taxi stations, promoting ownership of motorcycles, fostering positive relations with law enforcement, addressing parking challenges in collaboration with relevant authorities, and supporting access to affordable motorcycle maintenance.
The gathering underscored the transport officers’ strong civic engagement and their confidence in leadership that continues to prioritize the development of local transport infrastructure.
