Newly elected Tanzanian President John Magufuli has scrapped independence day celebrations to spend the money on a clean-up campaign, an official statement said.The president has instead decreed that on that day everybody should pick up their tools and clean their backyards.

“It is so shameful that we are spending huge amounts of money to celebrate 54 years of independence when our people are dying of cholera,” Magufuli said in a statement read on state television late Monday.

Last weekend the Tanzanian parliament was going to open and there was a state dinner planned for all guests that was going to cost about 300million Shillings.President Magulufi cut the budget to 25million Shillings and ordered that the rest be taken to buy hospital beds for Muhimbili they got 300 beds and mattresses and 600 bed sheets from that money.

On Saturday 21st November 2015 a group of 50 people were about to set off for a tour of commonwealth countries but President Magulufi cut that list down to 4 people, saving government 600m shillings in tickets, accommodation and per diems.

It is said when John Magufuli was confirmed winner of the presidential election people started congratulating him and sent gifts to his place which he turned back, saying he will receive all congratulations over the phone and nobody should visit him.

Some other austerity measures include:

No more foreign travel, embassies will take care; if it’s necessary to go, special permission must be sought from him or Chief Secretary
No more 1st class and business class travel for all officials except President, Vice, and Prime Minister.
No more workshops and seminars in expensive hotels when their so many ministry board rooms available.
President Magulufi asked how come engineers are given V8s when a pick-up is more suitable for their jobs.
No more sitting allowances, how the hell are you paid allowance for a job which you have a monthly salary; that also applies to MP’s.
All individuals/firms that bought state companies that were privatized but haven’t done anything (20years later) are to either revive the industries immediately or hand them back to the government
Tanzania’s say President Magulufi has literally pressed the reset button; returning Tanzania to default factory settings which was the Tanzania Julius Nyerere left.

On the day after he was brought to power, as State House officials were showing him round he decided to take a walk to ministry of finance, told government workers to get their act together. He asked why some employees weren’t in offices and ordered the TRA to scrap all tax exemptions, everyone must pay taxes especially the big guys

President Magulufi went to Muhimbili Hospital unannounced and walked thru the worst parts that they keep hiden from important visitors and fired the director, the hospital board and ordered that all machines that weren’t working (so that people go to private hospitals owned by some doctors) to be repaired within 2 weeks otherwise he would fire even the new director.The machines were repaired in 3 days.

Finally, last week when going to officially open parliament President Magulufi didn’t go by plane, drove the whole 600km from Dar to Dodoma.

President Magulufi has reduced the size of the presidential convoy, even reduced the size of presidential delegation that travels with him.

President Magulufi chose a Prime Minister most had never heard of before, a man with a reputation for hard work and no corruption.All the big guys Tanzanians expected would be PM have been let wondering what hit them.

Fcvk!!!!

I just died a million times with this post.

And that's the real/radical changes we crave for.

Obama used change as his slogan to campaign and d change he's giving America is cold war and sin of 666 in their forehead

Patiently waiting for naija change, when Tinubu fully owns Lagos

An African President actually said this, i bet PMB and his cabinet can take a cue from this.

Now this is true transformation. Action speaks volume.

I still maintain that one of the issues we have in Africa is greed and lack of empathy.

You don't have to be the Minister of Finance to save the country from bogus spendings and increasing recurrent expenditure.

PMB learn from this. Its not enough to recover loots, we can't keep spending as usual with dwindling oil prices and an economy based on oil revenue.

Now this is what i call AUSTERITY MEASURES.


Our Senators need to read the last paragraph.

You don't have to be a retired army general to instill discipline and make radical changes.

Magulufi definitely hit the ground blazing like usien bolt.

Finally, last week when going to officially open parliament President Magulufi didn’t go by plane, drove the whole 600km from Dar to Dodoma.

Unfortunately, people like Kingtom wouldn't agree with you on this..

Kingtom oya scream sai Barbra for me!

That's a man that means business and knows his onions.

This is what every patriotic citizens in Nigeria is yearning for. More power to your office @Tanzania president

Tanzanians voted wit there brains, Nigerians voted wit dia emotions.

Tanzanians were able to decipher propaganda from truth n facts whereas Nigerians were led by propaganda.

Kai baba, truly a dullard from daura.

Good. Hope other African leaders will follow suit.

Owoplenty:

Mr president please emulate that man cos he's the only person you need to look upto.

So by cleaning my backyard (yansh) I will make a difference abi?

When our senile and analogue presido is busy rotating the surface of the earth.

Yes na! You can't have a huge pile of dirt in your boxers while asking the fedora man to clean the one in his compound...

Yes na! You can't have a huge pile of dirt in your boxers while asking the fedora man to clean the one in his compound...

but the fedora man spent money on our independence day and to be honest there's nothing wrong there. You people need to consider other things. How much did our Tanzanian "Jesus" spend during campaign, who did he bribe? What is his feeding allowance etc. Besides, no be so bubu start? Very soon our Tanzanian tanoid branch office will be open for business and their very own sedumbus and mutu mutu will resume work.

Tanzania President mean business, he was prepared for governance.
Unlike his Nigeria counterpart who has been telling us he would fight corruption since he became president .

This is a return of Julius Nyerere's Ujamaa education

This is the real meaning of change. I hope they will not assassinate this man.

Buhari exposed his gross limitations with the unnecessary delay in key/ministerial appointments.
He is not ready to work. He's more concerned with his religion and consolidating power for the North.

The old mallam is a disaster!

this is a man that had planned for this office and he hit the ground running but in Nigeria's case APC was not prepared for governance APC was shocked at the victory and the ease with which it came without legal tussles and twists.

I can boldly say that in APCs subconscious, its still the opposition party which has not woken up to the reality of being at the helms of affairs

its obvious the present government does not have a defined direction and have failed to realize that governance is a multi dimensional system where you handle so many things at once without leaving one to suffer

God bless Nigeria
God help PMB

Tanzanians have done well for themselves! True! But GEJ was clueless impotent and deserved to be gotten rid of! Buhari has not perform, at least let him complete his tenure then we head back to the polls and kick him out! The masses now control their destiny!
