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

Mr Msuya was appointed as head of Tanzania Intelligence and Security Services (TISS) in September 2019 by former President John Magufuli.
