TANZANIA Mlele —
MLELE District Commissioner (DC) in Katavi Region, Mr Filberto Sangu has warned some unscrupulous civil servants who are bent to soliciting and receiving bribes from contractors who are undertaking development projects in the area.
The district commissioner further warned that whoever will be uncovered involved in such malpractice will be dealt squarely in accordance with the country’s law.
“Such malpractice is causing substandard work at times when projects are stalled; worse still contractors fail to pay their workers on time … . this is unacceptable and should not be left unchecked,” said the DC.
The DC sounded the warning during a meeting whose participants gathered to draw a strategic plan on the construction of 23 classrooms.
The meeting which was convened over the weekend at Majimoto Ward in Mpimbwe Council brought together village and ward executive officers, village chairpersons, school heads and heads of departments.
The government has recently disbursed over 460m/- to Mlele District for construction of 23 classrooms meant to accommodate all form one students who will join the schools next year.
“I’m directing heads of departments who have been tasked to supervise the projects to ensure that the schemes reflect the value for money spent on them and completed on time as per contractual agreement,” added the DC.
He further said that the completion of the projects will provide a sigh of relief to students by accessing school infrastructures closer to them.

Tanzania’s opposition party ACT Wazalendo honours veteran politician under new policy
Unguja. Opposition party ACT Wazalendo today officially bids farewell to its former Chairman, Juma Duni Haji, also known as Babu Duni, as part of a new policy designed to honor retired senior leaders at a ceremony held at Kiembesamaki, Zanzibar.
The initiative highlights the party’s commitment to recognizing and supporting individuals who have served with dedication and integrity.
Babu Duni, who stepped down earlier this year, was succeeded by Othman Masoud, now the First Vice President of Zanzibar.
The policy aims to provide ongoing respect and support to retired leaders, ensuring their continued recognition and contribution to the party’s development.
“Recognizing their significant contributions to the development and prosperity of the party, this policy ensures that retired leaders continue to be acknowledged and respected by both the party and the community,” the policy states.
To benefit from this policy, leaders must not have left or been expelled from the party. They must have served the party with honor and dedication. The national leadership committee will determine whether a leader has fulfilled these criteria.
The policy seeks to honor retired leaders, protect their dignity, acknowledge their contributions, leverage their ideas for the party’s growth, and support them to the best of the party’s ability.
In honoring these leaders, the party will provide a vehicle, the type of which will be determined by the national leadership committee. Additionally, they will receive a monthly allowance, with the amount also set by this committee.
Other benefits include health insurance. If a leader does not own a home, the party will cover their rent at a rate decided by the committee.
The leadership committee may also grant special recognition based on the leader’s contributions. Retired leaders will participate in decision-making meetings according to procedures outlined in the party’s constitution.
Depending on the party’s resources at the time, the policy may also apply to retired deputy chairpersons for both the mainland and Zanzibar, the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General for both mainland and Zanzibar, and the party’s Attorney General.
Additionally, leaders, executives, or members with exceptional contributions to the party’s protection, advocacy, and defense may also benefit, as determined by the leadership committee.
Currently, those who are eligible for benefits under this policy include Juma Duni Haji (retired party Chairman) and Zitto Kabwe (retired party leader).Continue Reading
