Tanzania's livestock keepers will vote on Wednesday after their leaders praised President Samia Suluhu Hassan for record investments in the sector over the past four years. National Chairperson Murida Mshota of the Tanzania Livestock Keepers Association said more than 4 million members support the government's development agenda, as the ministry's budget grew from 169 billion to 475 billion shillings under Hassan's leadership.
The government allocated 210 billion shillings for cattle vaccination and construction of 754 dip tanks across 184 councils in the 2024-25 budget. Meat exports surged from 1,700 tonnes to 14 million tonnes while 8,313 herders secured loans totaling 106.9 billion shillings to expand operations.
Land disputes between livestock keepers and other users decreased after Hassan launched the Tutunzane unity campaign. Mshota urged youth to vote peacefully and return home to await results, noting that Tanzania maintains stability compared with other nations.
