Lissu also thanked President Samia’s government for paying all of his parliamentary dues that the government has retained since he was stripped of his parliamentary seat on June 28, 2019, due to various reasons, including failure to file assets and liabilities and failure to report to the Speaker on his whereabouts.

Since said that, apart from all President has achieved, there’s still a lot to do to heal the rifts incurred in the previous regime under Magufuli. Lissu reiterated that he is the victim of the previous government after he was shot 16 times in broad daylight.

“For Samia to heal the wounds, it needs first to have the new constitution, total reforms in legal, administration and structure of the government. Samia’s move to start dialogue with CHADEMA is a right move,” – Lissu said.

Lissu has even admitted that a lot has changed since Samia took office. Tanzania has gained many remarkable changes that promise a bright future for the country, unlike in the previous regime. Lissu attested.

“About my treatment dues, I was told to write a letter to file my complaints. I’m now gathering all important documents testifying my treatments in Nairobi and Belgium” – Tundu Lissu.
