He thanked the on-going leadership of MVIWATA headed by Mr. Abdul Gea along with other retirees for leading the MVIWATA institution with the utmost honesty and integrity to achieve the current success which the Guest of Honor Speaker of the United Republic of Tanzania Hon, Job Ndugai has commended very much in his Opening Speech of the 25th Annual General Assembly.


Mr Apolo urged members of MVIWATA to continue upholding MVIWATA’s motto of THE DEFENDER OF THE FARMER IS THE FARMER as well as to strengthen the Unity and Solidarity among them including denouncing statements, actions and deceptions that undermine the interests of smallholder farmers in the country and undermine the development and prosperity of MVIWATA.
