MPs querying RCs, DCs military picks
THE tradition by Tanzanian presidents to appoint serving or retiring military personnel to civilian roles with political clout such as Regional Commissioners (RCs) and District Commissioner (DCs) yesterday caused a hot debate in Parliament with some questioning its rationale.
The matter arose as MPs debated the 2021/22 budget estimates of the Ministry of Defence and National Service tabled by the minister, Elias Kwandikwa.
It was raised by Esther Matiko (Special Seats-Chadema) who argued that appointing serving members of the Tanzania People’s Defence Force (TPDF) was not well thought-out because such roles are partially political.
