The Minister of State (Regional Administration and Local Government), George Simbachawene, has sacked two district executive directors (DED) for among other reasons misappropriation of 300 million/-.
The district directors who faced the axe include Kigoma Municipal director, Engineer Boniface Nyambele and his Mpanda counterpart, Suleiman Lukanga.
The announcement was made here yesterday by the head of government Communication Unit Rebecca Kwandu, on behalf of Simbachawene, saying the two directors were sacked on allegations that they made decisions that saw the government lose a lot of money.
“The duo have been disciplined following serious allegations of misappropriation of government funds as well as making irrational decisions that had cost the government millions of money,” she noted.
She explained that Engineer Nyambele was accused of selling houses belonging to the municipal authority without following due process and without the minister’s knowledge according to the regulations.
Lukanga is accused of purchasing two vehicles at the cost of 92,750,000/- and misappropriation of 294 million/- meant for the irrigation project.
Simbachawene had therefore appointed head of water department, Sultan Ndilowa as acting director which was vacant hitherto by Nyambale while the Katavi Regional Administrative Secretary, Lauteri Kaoni was appointed acting district director for Mpanda.
“The appointment follows the sack of the two directors as the government continues with investigations on the allegations against them and once proven legal matters will follow,” said Kwandu.
On the same note, Simbachawene appealed to all district directors in the country to be keen while performing their duties and that they should follow the laid down procedures follow.
“The government shall not hesitate to take disciplinary measures of public servants who shall violate the law and regulations, procedures by being self centred,” she added.
