The workers who have been suspended include an economist for the municipality Gwakisa Mwakyeba, Tito Kagize, engineer Kasimu Thadei and head of procurement Godfrey Mwangairo.

Speaking during her tour to inspect various projects in the region the minister smelled a rat in the implementation of the project after receiving information about the project from municipal director Geofrey Mwangulumbi.

After the information, the minister said there was an indication that there was misuse and decided to suspend the four workers.

The minister said she knew about the project via the Controller and Auditor General saying she was surprised that those responsible were not punished.

“I will not touch on the executive director because you are appointed by the president but I will suspend the four staff under your office for two weeks pending investigations,” she said.

The minister went on to say there are other workers who have been transferred from Shinyanga and directed that they should be brought to answer charges of corruption.

Minister Mwalimu said the cost for the project was 5.7bn/- and that up to now about 5.1 has been consumed.

For his part, the executive director for Shinyanga Godfrey Mwangulumbi said when giving information to the minister that earlier, the cost for the project was 5.9bn/- but it has been reduced to 5.5bn/- saying 600m/- was still available.

The Regional commissioner for Shinyanga Dr Philemon Sengati said his office was aware of the workers and that it will work on the matter and submit it in two weeks as required.
