Speaking for the first time in his new Dodoma State House, Tanzanian President Dr. John Pombe Magufuli is back on his usual no-nonsense tone.
In the televised meeting with government and private sector officials in a dividend receiving and award ceremony, President Magufuli has issued a 60 Days ultimatum to all public utilities as well as private entities where the government has a minority share, to disburse dividents to the government.
"After the 60 days those Chairpersons of the Boards and Executive officers appointed by the government in those respective organs shall consider themselves dismissed and we shall appoint other able Tanzanaians to fill the vacancies," said the vividly angered Magufuli.
According to the national broadcaster live telecast, in over 200 eligible entities, only 77 contributed to the government in the form of dividend by way of corporate social responsibility.
In four years, the government non tax revenues from the dividend rose significantly from a mere Shillings 166 billion to a staggering Shillings 1.05 trillion.
That is huge transformation but the self-reliance minded President Magufuli wants much more.
Magufuli who has also already shifted to the country's political capital of Dodoma, reminded other government entities that the government was already in Dodoma and urged others to follow.
