THE culture of diligence, trust and commitment to create a corruption-free society as advocated by President John Magufuli calls for concerted efforts to guarantee prosperity of Tanzania, which joined the rest of the world in welcoming the new year yesterday.
The Minister for Lands, Housing and
Human Settlements Development, Mr William Lukuvi, made the remarks at
Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam on New Year’s eve as he represented

Churches of Tanzania.
“As President Magufuli takes action
against corruption and tax evasion, we (Tanzanians) have the obligation
at everyone’s capacity to expose dishonest members of the society in our

The minister said since he assumed the
highest office, President Magufuli’s performance has touched the
feelings of the majority and prayers will give him strength and
confidence to move ahead.
“Let the faithful pray for the evil to
become responsible citizens,” he appealed. He named the kind of support
that every individual could give to the president.
These included fighting corruption at
its elementary stage, stop drug trafficking and addiction, stop thefts

In attendance was the minister of
