Tanzania’s new President Samia Suluhu Hassan seems to be following in the footsteps of her predecessor the late John Pombe Magufuli. On Saturday, the Head of State suspended the Director-General of Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) Deusdedit Kakoko, barely a week after assuming office. President Hassan announced the suspension when receiving the CAG’s audit reports for the financial year 2019/20 at State House in Dodoma. I now order the suspension of TPA Director-General to pave way for investigations into the embezzlement,” she said. President Hassan took over the presidency following the death of Magufuli who was buried in his hometown of Chato on Friday.
