Fires the Director General of the Tanzania Port Authority (TPA), Deusdedit Kakoko, and ordered an investigation. The President’s decision came in response to the CAG’s report which shows a loss of TZS 3.6 billion (about $1.5 million) by TPA. = Tough on corruption (Kagame once said if he had Dar es Salaam Port alone he would feed all Eats African Countries)
Called for the harmonization of existing government payment systems for effective government accounting.

As a consequence, there has been a room for mismanaging public funds. = Wants to accountability and control of public funds just like her predecessor
Warns the Minister of State from the President’s Office responsible for the Regional Administration and Local Government, Selemani Jafo over flaws in the ministry. President Samia said the ministry is taking money from the central government and collects money from the local government but there is no accountability in its expenditure. She expressly told the minister to promptly act on the raised concerns before the government intervenes. = This is the most powerful ministry in TZ and looks like the minister is not safe

In the last 90 days Apparently deep state are involved in taking almost $200 million from Central Bank.
