JPM receives CAG dossier, suspends two directors

By Digital Writer

President Magufuli has ordered suspension of Ujiji and Pangani District Executive Directors (DEDs) after the authorities got qualified opinion from The Controller and Auditing (CAG), Prof Mussa Assad’s report, submitted today (Tuesday).

He hailed the auditing report which shows improvements in government institutions and local authorities but insisted, “I think we have to take action; directors of the two councils should be suspended because they have ashamed the country and I have the authority to give such an order.”
According to the report, there is improvement in public institutions to 97 per cent, Regional Administration and Local Government, 90 per cent and central government to 86 per cent. The President handed over the CAG dossier to Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa to review with his subordinates.
Earlier, the Premier said he is ready for any President’s directives, saying any authorities should be accountable in their capabilities.
