Mr
Magufuli has a reputation of being hard-working AFP
|
The head of Tanzania's
anti-corruption body, Edward Hoseah, has been sacked by President John Magufuli
for negligence, the government says in a statement. The president expresses
his dissatisfaction at the body's conduct in fighting corruption in the
country, it added.
BBC Africa Live report continues:
Mr
Magufuli has also suspended four top officers in the anti-corruption body who
travelled abroad despite the government's recent suspension of all foreign
trips for public servants.
Since
coming to office in October, Mr Magufuli, who is nicknamed "The
Bulldozer", has announced a range of cost-cutting measures, including
a ban on unnecessary foreign travel by government officials.
He
also replaced the independence celebration with a clean-up campaign.
This suspension should send
a clear message to other public servants who think the president was bluffing
when he announced the ban on foreign trips, the government added.
