Moshi. The Alliance for Africa Farmers Party (AAFP) has launched an ambitious five-year manifesto (2025–2030), pledging sweeping reforms to reduce government operational costs by downsizing the Cabinet and restructuring public administration.

The AAFP’s manifesto comes at a time when debate on the cost of government has re-emerged strongly in public discourse, rekindling memories of the 2013 constitutional review process, when the size of the Cabinet was hotly contested but never resolved.
