Dar es Salaam. As Ludovick Utouh retires from the post of Controller and Auditor General (CAG), the huge question looms: who will succeed him in one of the country's most powerful jobs? Mr Utouh's tenure ends officially on Friday.
According to details gathered by The Citizen, names of three respected Tanzanians are poping up as potential successors, but only one of them would be appointed by President Jakaya Kikwete.
