Tanzania on Thursday got a new fifth president – Dr. John Magufuli – at a time when the people of this African nation are excited and waiting eagerly to see this new president fulfilling his promise to uproot corruption and restore discipline within Tanzanian government departments.
Dr. Magufuli, the former Minister for Works and who has proven to be a tough no-nonsense public official during his tenure in office before elected into the highest post in Tanzania, was sworn in on Thursday to lead this nation for the next five years.
Tanzanians are as well expecting him to pounce on public officials and businessmen who have robbed Tanzania through offshore accounts, a situation which has widened the gap between the haves and the have-nots – a scenario seemed to catalyze breach of law, hence, breaking the existing peace persisting in this country.
Speaking during his campaign rallies, Dr. Magufuli promised the Tanzanian voters to see him executing his duties to bring about development in Tanzania through hard work.
Theft of public money and inefficiency within the Tanzania government have led to the collapse of companies, including this country’s national airline, Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL), which this new president has promised to revive.
Lack of money from the government had greatly affected tourism marketing, though it is the current leading economic sector in Tanzania. Tourism marketing has been allocated with meager annual budgets despite all opportunities available within this crucial industry.
