Mohamed Mchengerwa has called on Tanzanians to prioritize hard work, productivity, and innovation while avoiding actions that may incite conflict or undermine national peace and unity.
Speaking on June 26, 2026, in an interview with TBC after the adjournment of the 58th Sitting of the Third Meeting of the 13th Parliament in Dodoma, he emphasized that sustainable development can only be achieved when citizens actively engage in productive economic activities.
He said peace and stability remain the cornerstone of national development, noting that no country can achieve meaningful progress in an environment marked by division, tension, or instability.
“Development is built on unity, discipline, and hard work. When citizens focus on productive activities, the nation moves forward in a stronger and more sustainable way,” he said.
He highlighted that the Sixth Phase Government under President Samia Suluhu Hassan has continued to create a favorable environment for investment and economic growth, particularly in the health and industrial sectors.
He noted that ongoing investments in pharmaceutical manufacturing industries are strengthening Tanzania’s capacity to produce medicines and medical supplies locally, helping to reduce shortages in hospitals and health facilities across the country.
According to him, increased local production is reducing dependence on imported medicines, improving health security, lowering procurement costs, and enhancing the overall efficiency of the healthcare system.
He further said that the growth of the pharmaceutical sector is generating employment opportunities, especially for young people, while contributing to broader industrial development and economic transformation.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to working closely with the private sector and development partners to strengthen the health system and ensure consistent access to quality and affordable medicines.
He urged citizens to channel their energy into productive work that advances national development, warning that actions that promote division or disrupt social harmony do not contribute to the country’s progress.
Overall, his message underscored the importance of peace, unity, and productivity as essential pillars for Tanzania’s continued social and economic development.
