President John Magufuli of Tanzania sacked two of his senior officials after they failed to recall immediately how much money was allocated by the government in their respective districts for public road construction projects.
Magufuli, nicknamed “the Bulldozer” for his infrastructure projects and leadership style, launched his reform drive after he was elected in late 2015. He has sacked thousands of civil servants over the past two years in a crackdown on government inefficiency and corruption.
A statement issued by the president’s office said the sacked director of the Bukoba Municipal Council, Erasto Mfugale, and the director of the Bukoba Rural Municipal Council, Mwantum Dau, would be assigned to other duties.
