General Jacob Mkunda addresses security after Tanzania election

Regarding cooperation with the security forces.

I would like to use this opportunity to speak to the people of Tanzania.

About the security situation of our country in the recent incidents that took place.

Fellow citizens.

This must stop.

Yesterday, 29 October 25, our country held a general election exercise.

While that process was taking place, criminal acts occurred.

These were carried out by some criminal elements.

People who do not wish well for our nation acted in various parts of the country.

Those acts caused destruction of public infrastructure, public property and private property.

Those acts are unacceptable crimes that must be stopped immediately.

I call on the citizens of Tanzania to cooperate with and support security efforts.

His Excellency David has taken action and continues to strengthen security in the country.

Fellow citizens.

This must stop.

Our country.

It guides the principles of the law, which must be observed and respected.

From the facts, the defence forces and the citizens of Tanzania,

it calls on all people who are involved in criminal acts,

to stop those acts immediately.

This is to avert serious harm to security,

welfare, social order and our nation.

Where such criminal acts occur,

it will continue.

The defence forces and the citizens of Tanzania,

should cooperate with other security organs,

so that we will continue to be a people who are law-abiding, deserving and accountable under the law.

Indeed,

while the defence and security institutions,

I will continue to strengthen the security situation in the country,

I call on citizens, community leaders, the youth and the elders,

and institutions and other stakeholders,

to join in protecting the interests of our nation.

Thank you very much for listening.
