President Magufuli devoted to extirpate corruption

It’s barely a month since John Magufuli was inaugurated as the fifth president of Tanzania.

Apparently, what he has done in this scanty time is amazing. President Magufuli has already displayed abundant zeal for austerity and impatience in uprooting corruption and waste of public funds. Magufuli cancelled Independence Day celebration, a time the government spent big on public display on nationalism, downsized by more than 90% budget for the opulent state dinner, cancelled unreasonable state travels for officials and ordered state meetings and workshops to be held in government buildings rather than 5 star hotels.
