Iringa. Vice President Dr Philip Mpango has announced his decision to retire from public service, marking the end of a distinguished four-decade career in government and academia. His next chapter, he said, will be spent in the fields—fulfilling a personal dream and continuing the farming legacy of his late father.
Speaking on Wednesday, 14 May 2025, during the 20th anniversary of Ruaha Catholic University (RUCU) in Iringa, Dr Mpango said his decision to retire was inspired by a desire to reconnect with his roots and to give space for younger generations to lead.
