Dar es Salaam. Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba yesterday called for a thorough investigation into the sources of damage to ferries, hinting at reports suggesting deliberate sabotage to justify costly repairs.

The directive came two weeks after the Minister for Works Abdallah Ulega ordered the suspension of the Chief Executive Officer of the Technical and Electrical Agency (Temesa) and other officials pending investigations into allegations of financial misconduct.
