U.S President George W. Bush has made a passionate appeal to the American people to cherish comments made by President Jakaya Kikwete on the difference that the Millennium Challenge program makes to the millions of people around the world.
Bushs speech at the 2008 Bishop John T. Walker Memorial Dinner, which the Public Affairs Officer at the U.S embassy in Dar es Salaam Jeffery Salaiz forwarded to The Guardian yesterday, shows that the U.S President issued the appeal in Washington mid this week.
``My fellow citizens need to hear what President Kikwete said. He said that the Millennium Challenge programme is a `source of pride` `making it possible for the people of Tanzania to chart a brighter future,`` said Bush in the statement.
He was referring to the five-year, nearly USD 700 million, Millennium Challenge Compact he signed with Kikwete when he visited Tanzania, which will help build up Tanzania`s infrastructure.
Bush explained in his speech: ``Notice he didn`t say, making it possible for the American people to chart a brighter future for Tanzania. He said, making it possible for the citizens of Tanzania to chart their own future.``
