President Samia Suluhu Hassan has suspended Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) Director-General Deusdedit Kakoko over allegations of massive embezzlement at the institution.
This came after the TPA was adversely mentioned in the report of the Controller and Auditor-General (CAG) for financial year 2019/20, which the Tanzanian President received at State House in Dodoma on Sunday.
While noting that she had seen massive embezzlement at TPA, President Suluhu ordered the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) to urgently look into the claims.
She said some actions were earlier taken after Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa formed a committee to probe the claims of embezzlement at the TPA.
