Tanzania’s President sacks top State House official .

Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan has sacked a top State House official barely two days after announcing his appointment.

Former head of intelligence Diwani Athumani Msuya had on Tuesday been appointed as State House permanent secretary.

But he was replaced on Thursday by Mululi Majula Mahendeka – himself a former State House official.

No explanation was offered in a statement from the president’s office that announced the changes.
