Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, Hon. Dr. Doto Biteko, has stated that the Sixth Phase Government is committed to improving various economic and social services, including immigration services, to accelerate the development of the people.
Dr. Biteko made these remarks on January 11, 2025, after laying the foundation stone for the Immigration Department building located in Micheweni District, Pemba, as part of the celebrations marking the 61st Anniversary of Zanzibar Revolution, which will culminate on January 12, 2025.
He emphasized that both Zanzibar and Tanzanians have every reason to be proud of the development achieved over the 61 years since the historic Zanzibar Revolution, noting that various projects have been implemented compared to previous periods.
“You will agree with me that both governments continue to work hard to bring economic, political, and social development. These developments are the fruits of the leaders and founders, Late Abeid Amani Karume and Late Father of the Nation, Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere,” Dr. Biteko said.

He added that the construction of the Immigration Department’s office and staff housing is proof that the government intends to improve the working environment for employees to carry out their duties more efficiently.
On her part, the Regional Commissioner of North Pemba, Salama Khatib, thanked President Samia for the implementation of many large development projects, alongside strengthening democracy.
She said that while Zanzibar residents continue to take pride in the benefits from the Revolution, it is important for citizens to know each other and work together to protect the country’s security.
Minister of State in the Vice President’s Office, Hon. Hamza Hassan Juma, stated that the ongoing improvements in Micheweni District have lifted residents from poverty.
He noted that the enhancement of infrastructure such as roads and water will create job opportunities for residents, thus boosting the economy and development.
He also advised the Immigration Department to look for land for residential purposes separate from office spaces in the future, in order to protect the privacy of employees when they are in residential settings.
