“The central committee has endorsed the president’s plan and wants him to change the cabinet as soon as possible,” Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party spokesman Nape Nnauye said in a statement.
“Legal action should also be taken against all implicated ministers, government officials and executives of public institutions,” Nnauye, the party’s ideology and publicity secretary, added.
Tanzania’s auditor-general, Ludovick Uttouh, recently handed Kikwete a report implicating numerous political and state officials in cases of suspect procurements, bribery and fake job placements.
As a result of the report members of parliament demanded that at least eight ministers be sacked and launched a debate on a censure motion against Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda if he failed to comply.
