The Minister for Finance, Ambassador Khamis Mussa Omar, has paid a courtesy visit to the offices of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) Dodoma Region to formally introduce himself as a new resident of the city and a party cadre.
During the visit, Ambassador Omar met with CCM Dodoma Regional Chairman, Alhaji Adam Kimbisa, where he expressed appreciation for the role of the party in guiding government leadership and national development priorities.
“I have come to the CCM offices to introduce myself as a new resident of Dodoma Region and as a CCM cadre,” said Ambassador Omar.
The minister recently relocated to Dodoma following his appointment as a Member of Parliament in the Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania and subsequent appointment as Minister for Finance.
He said his visit was part of his responsibility to recognise the central role of CCM in governance, noting that the party’s manifesto continues to guide the implementation of key development projects across the country.
Ambassador Omar added that he will continue to engage with party offices in regions he visits, in addition to paying courtesy calls to regional administrative leaders, as part of strengthening coordination between government and party structures.
In response, CCM Dodoma Regional Chairman, Alhaji Adam Kimbisa, who was accompanied by the Regional Secretary, Ms Pili Mbanga, commended the minister for what he described as a strong example of respect for party institutions and leadership traditions.
“Let me congratulate you. You have started very well. We are proud of you. You have shown an exceptional example, and we are ready to give you full cooperation in your duties,” said Kimbisa.
He further noted that CCM in Dodoma remains strong and focused on serving citizens by ensuring effective implementation of development projects, particularly in water, education, health, and infrastructure.
“CCM is trusted by the people because it listens and responds to their needs. When citizens ask for services such as water, schools, roads, and hospitals, the party ensures they are delivered,” he added.
Ambassador Khamis Mussa Omar is also among the five Members of Parliament representing the National Assembly in the Chama Cha Mapinduzi National Executive Council (NEC).
