Tibaijuka walks into real politics
If Mrs Tibaijuka is appointed to Mr Jakaya Kikwete's next Cabinet, it will be interesting to see what position she gets.

The curtain fell on the long diplomatic career of UN-Habitat Executive Director Anna Tibaijuka after she retired last Tuesday.
Mrs Tibaijuka was the second highest ranking African woman in the United Nations system. She had become a familiar figure in Kenyan diplomatic circles for her forceful advocacy for improvement of housing for the urban poor.
Speaking at a luncheon in her honour, Mrs Tibaijuka announced she was taking up a new career as a politician in Tanzania. The former University of Dar es Salaam don is the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) candidate in Bukoba, which means she is all but certain to be elected to the Tanzanian parliament.
