President
Jakaya Kikwete has named 70 new district commissioners, among them six
media practitioners, in a major shake-up that saw 51 former ones dropped
and 63 re-appointed.
The PM gave the factors behind the
dropping of the 51 as including having reached retirement age, poor
health and “administrative reasons”.
“The screening process was very tough …
Many factors were considered, among them gender, age and experience. It
was not a joke,” he said, adding: “Owing to these factors and other
considerations, you will find that youths constitute 40 per cent and
women 30 per cent of the new line-up.
”Pinda said five of the new DCs were
picked by virtue of their being Special Seats Members of Parliament,
elaborating: “This is a new criterion we decided to use in the vetting
process this time around.”
The six journalists in the new line-up –
their duty stations in brackets – are Novatus Makunga (Hai), Jacqueline
Liana (Magu), Ahmed Kipozi (Bagamoyo), Selemani Mzee Selemani (Kwimba),
