What you need to know:
President Magufuli has revealed how he closely followed the police operation that arrested both the suspects who were about to smuggle over 300 kilograms of gold out of the country and the police who were soliciting bribes from the suspects.
Eight police officers were escorting the smugglers after an agreement that they would pocket a total of Sh1 billion in bribes.
They had already received a total of Sh700 million and the Sh300 million that they were arrested with was to be their final pay in the deal.
