The Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office responsible for Policy, Parliament, Coordination and Persons with Disabilities, Palamagamba John Kabudi, has urged staff in the office to strengthen professionalism, efficiency and commitment in executing their duties in order to support the implementation of Tanzania’s National Development Vision 2050.
Prof. Kabudi made the call on March 8, 2026, shortly after officially reporting to the office and being received by leaders and employees at the Ngome Building in Dodoma.
Addressing staff members, the minister emphasized that the Prime Minister’s Office plays a crucial role in policy coordination and supervision of government programmes, which are key to ensuring the country achieves its long-term development goals.
He urged public servants to remain committed and professional in their work so that the office can effectively contribute to the government’s development agenda.
“It is important for us to share ideas and work together in order to assist President Samia Suluhu Hassan in achieving the vision of development that brings prosperity and happiness to Tanzanians,” Prof. Kabudi said.
He also underscored the importance of unity and cooperation among staff members, noting that such collaboration would strengthen the office’s performance and enable it to support the Prime Minister in delivering his responsibilities effectively.
Prof. Kabudi said a friendly working environment should not be mistaken for complacency or indiscipline, but should instead inspire employees to raise standards of accountability and improve performance.
The minister further encouraged staff to maintain strong work ethics and continue serving citizens diligently as the government pushes forward with its national development priorities.
In his remarks, Prof. Kabudi also asked staff to continue praying for the late former Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, William Vangimembe Lukuvi, asking God to grant him eternal rest.
He said he would build on the foundation and initiatives established by his predecessor in strengthening the office and enhancing its service delivery.
Earlier, the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office (Policy, Parliament, Coordination and Persons with Disabilities), Ummy Nderiananga, congratulated Prof. Kabudi on his appointment and assured him of full cooperation from staff members.
Permanent Secretary in the office, Jim Yonazi, also congratulated the minister and said employees were ready to work under his leadership in serving Tanzanians more effectively.
