Professor Makame Mbarawa is a Tanzanian CCM politician and a nominated Member of Parliament.[1][2] He is currently the Minister of Transport in Tanzania.

Political career

[edit]

He served as the Minister of Communication, Science & Technology from 2010 to 2015. He thereafter served as the Minister of Water and Irrigation in the Magufuli administration for eleven days before being transferred to head the infrastructure docket. He continued as the Minister of Works and Transport once president Samia Suluhu Hassan took office in 2021. Following her reshuffle of the cabinet in September 2023, he retained his role over just the Minister of Transport as the ministry was split into two.[3]
