Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan removed two prominent ministers Sunday as part of a major Cabinet reshuffle, according to the acting director of presidential communications, Sharifa Nyanga.<\/p>\n

The dismissal of Foreign Minister January Makamba and Minister of Information, Communication and Information Technology Nape Nnauye came amid rumors that they were secretly plotting to challenge President Hassan’s re-election bid. President Hassan took office following the death of the populist leader John Magufuli.<\/p>\n

In a statement released by Chief Secretary Moses Kusiluka, it was announced that Mahmoud Thabit Kombo has been appointed as a member of parliament and minister for foreign affairs and East Africa cooperation. Before this appointment, Kombo was Tanzania\u2019s ambassador in Italy.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, Jerry Silaa will replace Nnauye as the new information, communication and information technology minister. Silaa was previously the minister of lands, housing and human settlements development.<\/p>\n

Deogratius John Ndejembi has been appointed as the new minister of lands, housing and human settlements development. Before this appointment, Ndejembi was minister of state in the Prime Minister\u2019s Office (Labour, Youth, Employment and Persons with Disabilities).<\/p>\n

According to the statement, Ridhiwani Kikwete has been appointed minister of state in the Prime Minister\u2019s Office. Before this, Kikwete served as deputy minister of state in the President\u2019s Office for Public Service Management and Good Governance.<\/p>\n

Cosatto Chumi has been appointed as deputy minister of foreign affairs, replacing Mabrouk Nassor Mabrouk, who will be assigned other duties.<\/p>\n

Deus Clement Sangu has been appointed deputy minister in the President\u2019s Office for Public Service Management and Good Governance.<\/p>\n

Dennis Lazaro Londa has been appointed as deputy minister of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, replacing Stephen Lujwahuka Byabato, whose appointment has been revoked.<\/p>\n

The reshuffle also includes appointments of permanent secretaries and district administrative heads, with Eliakim Chacha Maswi becoming the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Constitutional and Legal Affairs and Mary Gaspar Makondo appointed as the regional administrative secretary for the Ruvuma region.<\/p>\n

The reshuffle reflects President Hassan’s efforts to consolidate her administration and address internal challenges as she gears up for her re-election campaign.<\/p>\n
