The Deputy Treasury Registrar, Lightness Mauki, has stated that the Government will continue strengthening transparency, accountability, and oversight of public investments to ensure that resources invested in public institutions, state-owned enterprises, and companies in which the Government holds shares continue to generate value for citizens and the nation as a whole.

Speaking to journalists on June 15, 2026, at the Treasury Registrar’s Office headquarters in Morocco Square, Dar es Salaam, Ms. Mauki officially announced that the 2026 Dividend Day will be held on June 30, 2026, at State House in Dar es Salaam.

She said the Guest of Honor at the event will be the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Samia Suluhu Hassan, who will receive dividends and various contributions from public institutions and companies in which the Government has invested.

“We highly appreciate the media for continuously responding to our call and demonstrating your value as key stakeholders in promoting accountability and transparency in the management of Government investments. Through your work, citizens are able to understand what is happening in Government investments,” Ms. Mauki said.

She noted that the theme for Dividend Day 2026 is:

“Results-Oriented Public Investment: A Pillar of a Competitive Economy and Sustainable Development Towards Tanzania’s Vision 2050.”

According to Ms. Mauki, the theme is intended to promote efficiency, productivity, and accountability in the management of public assets.

She further revealed that Government investments in public institutions, state-owned enterprises, and companies with Government shareholding have reached approximately TZS 95 trillion, underscoring the importance of ensuring that these investments deliver tangible benefits to citizens.

Ms. Mauki explained that Dividend Day serves as an important platform for showcasing the outcomes of Government investments, strengthening transparency and accountability in the management of public assets, and demonstrating the contribution of public institutions to national economic growth.

She also commended leaders of institutions and organizations that have already submitted their dividends and contributions to the Government, while urging those that have not yet completed the process to do so before June 30, 2026.

According to Ms. Mauki, institutions that demonstrate outstanding performance and contribute the highest dividends will be recognized and presented with special awards by President Samia Suluhu Hassan. The initiative aims to encourage healthy competition, accountability, and a results-driven culture within public institutions.

She added that citizens should closely follow information related to public investments in order to better understand how national resources are managed and the impact they have on key sectors such as healthcare, education, energy, and infrastructure.

In her concluding remarks, Ms. Mauki encouraged Tanzanians to follow the proceedings of Dividend Day 2026, describing it as an important opportunity to witness how Government investments continue to contribute to national development and the well-being of citizens.
