Chadema youth wing chairman defects to Tanzania’s ruling party

Chadema Youth Wing chairman Patrobas Katambi

Dar es Salaam. Chadema Youth Wing chairman Patrobas Katambi has on Tuesday, November 21, announced defecting to the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).

He made the announcement during the CCM National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held at State House.

Mr Katambi said he made the move in the interest of the nation.

“Our country has already been liberated. What we have been seeking for is transformation, which your government is already addressing. In opposition, people don’t live what they preach, what they say is the opposite of what they do in their constituencies,” he claimed.

He claimed that most leaders in Opposition were only after their personal interests giving little or no room at all to national interests.

“The Opposition claims that appointments in your government favour certain zones more than others, but this is exactly what the case is within the Opposition,” he argued.

According to him, his decision has been greatly influenced by the fact that the current government delivers on what it promised the people.
