Magufuli sacks TRA chairman, dissolves board

President Magufuli yesterday sacked Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) board chairman Bernard Mchomvu.

What you need to know:

  • Dr Magufuli also dissolved the TRA board in yet another shake-up of the revenue agency.
  • Mr Mchomvu’s sacking was announced through a State House statement, which, however, did not specify the reason for his removal. Mr Mchomvu was first appointed TRA board chairman in August 2011.
