Samia Hassan Suluhu Career Journey
Samia’s political career in Tanzania began after she completed her secondary school education. Her entry level role was a clerical duty she performed at the Ministry of Planning. She officially took a keen interest in Tanzania’s political arena in 2000 holding a ministerial position in Zanzibar after official go-ahead from the then head of state, Karume Amani. She had to stand the heat of being a female in the immensely male-dominated space and keep pushing as she would be the one to open the doors for other women to follow.
She afterwards served in another ministerial capacity under Jakaya Kikwete’s administration. Her performance and contribution in Tanzania’s political space was commendable and she was tasked with other roles such as leading a committee that would be tasked with drafting a new Law of the Land. The late Magufuli chose her for his running mate in 2015, a path that has now made her the first female president of Tanzania and in East Africa.
