The President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Samia Suluhu Hassan, stated that the appointment of Dr. Mwigulu Nchemba

as Prime Minister of Tanzania was based on rigorous criteria and intense competition among the candidates nominated. Dr. Mwigulu proved himself a suitable candidate due to his qualities and skills in public service. Dr. Mwigulu Lameck Nchemba is a Tanzanian economist and prominent politician of the CCM. Prior to his appointment as Prime Minister, he served as Minister of Finance from 2021 and previously held several other key ministerial posts, including Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Minister of the Interior, and Minister of Constitutional and Legal Affairs. He has been a Member of Parliament for the Iramba West constituency since 2010. Dr. Nchemba was born on January 7, 1975, in the Iramba District of the Singida Region. He earned his doctorate in economics from the University of Dar es Salaam between 2012 and 2018 and has extensive experience in both business and public service. On Friday, November 14, 2025, President Samia addressed the public at Chamwino State House in Dodoma immediately following the swearing-in of Dr. Nchemba. He stated that the decision was made after a thorough review of the experience and contributions of all the proposed candidates. One of the main reasons for appointing Dr. Mwigulu was his long service to the people of Tanzania in various senior government positions. President Samia emphasized that Dr. Mwigulu's work in a senior position at the Ministry of Finance had given him a deep understanding of the access and management systems for government funds—an essential skill for coordinating the work of various ministries and government institutions. “We have examined all the criteria in different areas of service to this country. Our priority is to find someone who knows how to serve the citizens of the United Republic of Tanzania,” said President Samia. @https://udakuspecially.com/rais-samia-ataja-sababu-kwanini-kamchagua-mwigulu-kuwa-waziri-mkuu/
