THE Civic United Front (CUF) presidential candidate, Mr Seif Sharif Hamad, said here that CCM should start preparations for working in a government of national unity (GNU) to be formed after October 31.
''We have been going on well with our campaign and it is certain that the next government will be led by CUF. 'I advise CCM to get prepared for the inevitable changes in the government,'' said Mr Hamad on Mondayat Mazson Hotel where he unveiled his plan to improve health services in the islands.
He said that it was important for CCM to get prepared to work under new leadership, insisting that ''when we work together, definitely we will speed-up development''.
Hamad said, if elected, he would place more efforts in education and health which were among key areas in fighting poverty. He said training and improvement of medical staff welfare and facilities would curb brain drain and boost efficiency in delivery of services.
Flanked by the party medical expert Dr Juma Muchi, the CUF candidate promised to revive supply of decent meals to patients in all hospitals and curb theft of drugs.
''If elected, I will increase education and public awareness on effects of the use of illicit drugs and spread of HIV. "HIV is a serious problem in risky groups such as homosexuals, drugs users and people involved in commercial sex,'' he said.
Dr Muchi also said the next CUF's government would be serious on keeping the environment clean including improving sewerage system and sanitation.
''Our target is also to improve the doctor to patient ratio. In Zanzibar the ratio stands at 1:20,000. We need to train more people and ask qualified Zanzibaris to return home and work in our health centres," he said.
