Easy does it, President Suluhu, first of her kind, seems in charge
Saturday April 03 2021
Summary
President Samia Suluhu does not seem to be overly fazed, or intimidated by the enormity of the tasks she faces or the novelty of her position.
She seems to have taken these in her stride and put her best foot forward as she has been making her first appointments and directives.

The lady has ridden into town, and notice is being taken.
People are asking such questions as, “Is she President Samia, President Suluhu or President Hassan?” but all that will soon clarify itself as people will learn a lesson or two on how Zanzibaris use their given names in conjunction with their fathers’ names and, even sobriquets. That will not be important.
Father Kitima made the remarks while addressing the media on various issues, especially the Covid-19 epidemic, and urged church members to continue taking precautions against the disease in accordance with Health ministry guidelines.
In a statement, Mr Kitima said the deaths occurred between mid-December and February in different parts of the country.
“Priests are dying and sisters are dying but this number within two months has shocked us especially considering the government has strengthened health systems,” he said.
He said TEC president, Gervas Nyaisonga, had already distributed guidelines to bishops of various dioceses on measures to protect themselves against Covid while providing services.
