After the questioning, the CCM Ethics Committee tabled its report before the party\u2019s Central Committee (CC).<\/p>\n<p>But, yesterday, the CCM secretary of Ideology and Publicity, Mr Shaka Hamdu Shaka said the ruling party has received a report from the CCM caucus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will be summoned according to party procedures. The date will be communicated after the respective MPs have been officially informed,\u201d he said. On Friday, Mr Shaka released a press statement saying the Central Committee (CC) has received and discussed the report on the behaviour of the three leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the statement says CCM had resolved to summon the trio in order to give them the opportunity to exercise the principle of natural justice. In another development, in celebrating the CCM 45th anniversary on February 5, 2022, the party was expected to hold national celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CCM national chairperson and President of the United Republic of Tanzania Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to be the chief guest during the event,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was contrary to the new party\u2019s tradition exercised in the last five years where such commemorations ended at the regional level where members ceased the opportunity to carry different social works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
