Dar es Salaam.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Said Mwema, 60, will step down in December, we can authoritatively report.
Mr Mwema, who was expected to remain in office until after the 2015 General Election, has turned down the offer of a two-year contract, opting instead for just six months.
Impeccable police sources confided to The Citizen on Saturday that the IGP agreed to extend his stay to December despite a state request that he works another two years.
Mr Mwema, who was headhunted from Interpol seven years ago to lead the police force, was officially due for retirement last month but State House reportedly asked him to consider a long contract.
When he finally quits, the curtains will fall on an illustrious career spanning 30 years, during which Mr Mwema rose from a 22-year-old constable in 1976 to the apex of the police hierarchy.
