Thus, Sheikh Karume also became the minister responsible for Zanzibar Affairs while Kawawa was the minister of defense and national service. We had no Prime Minister then, and being a deputy minister wasn't such a big deal.
Then Nyerere appointed three ministers in his office to deal with economic planning. These guys were Nsilo Swai, Mohammed Abdulrahman Babu and Amir Jamal, a mixture of an African, an Arab and an Indian, respectively.
Following allegations of taking part in the assassination of Karume, Babu had to leave the country in 1978 after a brief imprisonment. He later became a renowned London-based scholar, and in 1995 NCCR-Mageuzi appointed him the running mate for the presidency of Tanzania together with Augustine Mrema.
Mwalimu then appointed Aboud Jumbe as the minister of state in the first vice president's office while Lawi Sijaona and Bhoke Munanka became ministers of state in the second vice president's office. Jumbe later became the Tanzania vice president after the death of Karume in 1972.

Nyerere set apart an important ministry, finance, from economic planning placing Paul Bomani in charge. Oscar Kambona, another of Nyerere's buddies who rejected the socialism idea in 1967, became the minister for foreign affairs. Kambona later escaped to Britain to avoid treason charges, leaving his colleagues in hot soup.
