Taxpayers are stuck paying for retired politicians forever because the Constitution demands it. Minister Ridhiwani Kikwete confirmed the administration will keep funding old leaders and their partners during a recent trip to Zanzibar. He visited several residences to deliver special messages directly from President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
Kikwete stopped at the Kibele home of Dr Ali Mohammed Shein, who previously led the Revolutionary Council. The tour continued to Mbweni, where the previous Vice President Dr Mohamed Gharib Bilal, resides. These visits aimed to reassure the old guard that the public service management office watches out for them.
The official also checked on Mrs Sitti Mwinyi in Nyamanzi. She remains the widow of Ali Hassan Mwinyi. The minister promised that the state must care for these individuals according to strict regulations. Mrs Mwinyi thanked the leadership for the support and asked the government to sustain the compassion.
