In Summary

The feeling that it is a time for change within government and ruling NRM party is so commonplace
When Mr Oulanyah had just become Deputy Speaker, he was accused by some MPs and members of the public of elevating his being a member of ruling NRM party above his being Deputy Speaker, which got him to attend a ruling party caucus meeting with President Museveni at his country home in Rwakitura in Kiruhura District.

On Monday this week, President Museveni hosted topmost officials of government at State House Entebbe in what was the first such meeting on record.
Vice President Edward Ssekandi, Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga, her deputy Jacob Oulanyah, Chief Justice Bart Katureebe and Deputy Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo, were joined by Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda and ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party secretary general Justine Kasule Lumumba in the visit to the President.
The meeting was first brought to the attention of the public by a tweet off Speaker Kadaga’s twitter handle. The ruling NRM party’s account also tweeted about it, but the presidency did not issue any communication about the meeting.

According to Africa Economic Outlook 2019 report released on 4 th April, 2019 by Africa Development Bank (AfDB), the achievements came from Tanzania’s landmark decision to revive its manufacturing sector in 2015; today the sector has become the biggest contributor to the GDP among the 14 countries of the Eastern Africa region. This is good news for Tanzania which embarked on a set of reforms which include industrializing the economy after many years of relying on export of unprocessed agricultural produce. The annual report released by the AfDB is a nod to Tanzania’s ongoing reforms implemented by Dr John Magufuli and his Government since he came to power in 2015.
