The Prime Minister called for the firing of employees linked to a major funds scandal. Mwigulu Nchemba gave the order during a visit to a ferry service in Dar es Salaam. He stated workers at the transportation agency TEMESA embezzled two and a half billion shillings. Nchemba said this corruption hurt ferry operations and raised government costs. He warned that the state will not tolerate authority or stolen public money.
Maintenance on some ferries has stopped because of unpaid debts of around eight hundred million shillings. The Prime Minister noted financial reports point to the agency staff's involvement. He argued that without strict action, the government will waste huge sums fixing old boats instead of buying new ones. This would burden citizens and worsen services. Nchemba promised continued legal action against everyone involved. He demanded more accountability and transparent management of public resources across all institutions.
