Wakili msomi.Wanabodi,
JF, kama kawaida yetu, be the first to know!.
Chama cha Wanasheria Tanganyika, kwafukuta, Mwenyekiti wa TLS, Wakili Msomi, Harold Sugusia akunjua makucha, kupitia The Governing Council, amempiga panga kwa kumsimamisha kazi Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa TLS, kwa kipindi cha miezi miwili ili kupisha uchunguzi wa matumizi mabaya ya fedha, Shilingi Milioni 670 za mradi wa LAAC.
Nimesema kwafukuta, kwasababu mara nyingi hatua kama hizi, hupelekea msimamishwa kugoma kusimamishwa!, na haswa anapokuwa ni mwanamke... watu hawachelewi kusema ni kwasababu ...
NB. Matumizi mabaya ya fedha ni misappropriation sio lazima iwe ni wizi!
Taarifa yenyewe ni hii.
