ACT- Wazalendo takes its ‘Brand Promise’ to Pemba

Pemba. Opposition party ACT –Wazalendo is today set to kick off its rallies in Pemba after having held such three rallies this term in Unguja.

According to the party’s schedule they are set to kick off the Pemba leg with a rally on Sunday, June 11 in Wete, then head to Mtambile, and Tumbe before concluding in Chake Chake on Wednesday June 14.

The party’s secretariat says as part of their rallies they will explain to the public their ideology of the New Zanzibar with full authority just as they have done in the past three rallies in Unguja.

After Pemba ACT will resume their rallies in Unguja on June 17, with a rally in Paje.

In February, the party held its last rally at Tibirinzi grounds in Chake Chake with a promise of holding further rallies across the country after the end of Ramadhan.

In the past three weeks in Unguja the party under the leadership of its vice chairman and the First Vice Chairman Othman Masoud Othman, held rallies at Kikwajuni, Garagara and Nyarugusi.

During the rallies the party said as an oversight organ they were asking questions on behalf of the people who they said are voiceless.

Some of the key issues that have since cropped up at these rallies include the tendering process of various projects which include the Port of Malindi, the reconstruction of the Amani Stadium and Airport Road.

In their assessment, the awarding of these projects among others contravened the procurement act of 2016, something that President Mwinyi has refuted as misleading.

According to the president the projects were awarded through single sourcing and restricted tendering because of time constraints.
