Dar es Salaam. President John
Magufuli has appointed Prof Florens Luoga the new Chairman of the
Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) Board of Directors.
According
to a statement issued on Tuesday by the Directorate of Presidential
Communications, Prof Luoga takes over from Mr Benard Mchomvu who was
sacked and his Board of Directors dissolved in November last year.
The
new TRA Board Chairman is a Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of
Dar es Salaam (UDSM) responsible of academic affairs. His appointment
takes effect immediate.
Speaking in
November 25, last year at the 31st graduation ceremony of the Open
University of Tanzania (OUT) in Kibaha - Coast Region, President
Magufuli said that he sacked Mr Mchomvu and the entire board after they
approved Sh26 billion to be deposited in a fixed deposit accounts in
three different commercial banks.
The
board decisions according to Dr Magufuli, were contrary to government
directives that public funds shouldn’t be banked in private banks,
instead be banked at the Bank of Tanzania (BOT).
