President Magufuli fires the DC who ‘jailed’ the District Director

What you need to know:

  • President John Magufuli’s decision to revoke appointment of Mwanga District Commissioner (DC) Aaron Mbogho and replaced him with Mr Thomas Cornel Apson in what analysts believe is a response to repeated wrangles between the fired DC and the District Executive Director (DED) who he had once ‘jailed’
  • A team formed by Regional Commissioner Anna Mghwira to come to the bottom of the matter recommended that Mr Aaron Mbogo and the Mwanga DED Zefrin Lubuva can no longer work together in one district.
