Zanzibar First Vice-President Maalim Seif Shariff Hamad has urged the government of national unity (GNU) cabinet ministers to shun laziness and instead, cultivate the culture of self-accountability and delivering to the people's expectations.
Addressing a public rally at Kibandamaiti grounds here on Sunday, Maalim Seif, who is also CUF secretary-general, expressed his high expectations that the GNU team, especially ministers, would work hard and deliver.
“We will never allow ministers to be lazy. We shall wake them up, so that they can work hard and observe discipline,” he stressed.
Maalif Seif, who lost to President Ali Mohamed Shein in the end of last month’s presidential polls, asked the people to cooperate with appointed ministers in order to speed up the development of Zanzibaris.
Meanwhile, Maalim Seif said the government in power would work hard to empower youths, that is why Dr Shein has formed a ministry especially for dealing with affairs pertaining to labour and employment.
He asked the Minister for Industry, Trade and Marketing, Nassor Ahmed Mazrui, to make sure that his office deal effectively with all traders importing fake and outdated products.
In the meantime, Maalim Seif expressed appreciation on the functionality of the GNU since it was formed early this month, saying that it has so far worked very well because all leaders worked together with a common goal of bringing development to the people.
He used the opportunity to thank the people of Zanzibar, especially members of his opposition CUF, for participating peacefully in the general election last month in both Pemba and Unguja.
