In a passionate address in Parliament on Monday, April 14, 2025, Livingstone Lusinde, the Member of Parliament for Mvumi (CCM), raised serious concerns about the country’s current employment system.
He argued that the system is failing to fairly serve the people of Tanzania, especially the youth, and is contributing to growing frustration among job seekers.
Lusinde pointed out that despite the hard work and qualifications many young people have, they are still finding it difficult to secure stable, meaningful employment. He believes this gap between potential and opportunity is a major issue that needs urgent attention.
“Many young Tanzanians are being left behind, unable to find jobs that match their skills and aspirations,” Lusinde said during the session. “We need to rethink our approach to employment—what’s in place now isn’t working for the majority of our people.”

He called on the government to reassess the entire employment framework and create policies that not only provide jobs but also ensure those jobs contribute to the long-term economic well-being of the nation. The current system, he argued, often falls short of addressing the diverse needs of the workforce, leading to dissatisfaction and lost potential.
This critique comes as the country continues to search for effective solutions to tackle unemployment, especially among the youth, who are seen as critical to Tanzania’s future growth. Lusinde’s comments are likely to fuel ongoing discussions about how best to align the country’s employment policies with its evolving economic landscape.
As the debate continues, many hope that this kind of dialogue will lead to concrete changes that will benefit both the workforce and the economy.
