The former prime minister of the democratic republic of Tanzania Edward Ngoyai Lowassa has resigned. This occurred last week when the prime minister was charged against stealing money from the Tanzanian government.
This was mainly to do with the dealings of Mr Lowassa and the and a company called Richmond. It is said that the government was paying about the some of 152 million Tanzanian shillings a day to the company of Richmond, for them to produce electricity for the national grid of country. to this day Richmond has not yet produced any electricity while it has been payed to do that for the past two years. Instead the money that has been payed by our hard(yeah right) working government (which mostly comes of the taxes being payed by the Tanzanian people) has ended up in the big pockets of Mr Lowassa. So when the report of the investigation was given, Mr Lowassa said that he will resign but he still denied all charges. He did keep his word and now he has resigned.
So Tanzania has now got a new prime minister who goes by the name of Mzengo Peter Pinda. I would personally like to congratulate the MP of Kyela for the work he did and the courage he had to pin point a government official. So thats all.
Thank you for reading this
yours sincerely
