“Dr Rashid has done a tremendous job in the Fourth Phase Government although he failed to win majority votes in the preferential polls.
He’s made the ruling party’s star shine brighter, working with President Jakaya Kikwete,” she said. She made the commendation at a campaign rally held at Ikwiriri in Rufiji district, Coast Region.
She said if CCM is elected to form the Fifth Phase Government, “we (Dr John Magufuli and herself) will continue to use him in the health sector”. “You remember the doctors’ strike.
The standoff was solved amicably and we’ve never had any more strikes to date. ...so why should we let such an important asset go,” Samia explained. She said achievements recorded through the Big Results Now (BRN) have helped the government in health sector under the supervision of Dr Rashid.
Dr Rashid, who sought for re-election, was defeated in the CCM preferential election by Mohamed Mchengerwa who collected 6,002 votes against Dr Rashid’s 5,010.
