Kamati ya mahesabu ya bunge imeitaka Wizara ya Mambo ya nje Kikanda na Kimataifa kuwasilisha taarifa ndani ya siku nne zijazo ya matumizi ya kiasi cha shilingi bilioni 4.2 katika Ubalozi wa Tanzania nchini Uingereza.
Mwenyekiti wa kamati hio Mbunge Hillary Aeshi amesema taarifa hiyo ya uchambuzi wa mahesabu hayo ya mwaka wa fedha wa 2013/14 wameipitia na kuona matumizi hayo ambayo si ya kawaida na kuitaka wizara kuwasilisha taarifa yake wiki hii kwa ofisi ya msajili wa bunge.
Katika mkutano wake na wizara hio, kamati hio ya bunge pia iliitaka wizara hio kuwarudisha nyumbani maofisa wote ambao wamestaafu.
Hatua hio inatokana na kugundulika kuwa kuna baadhi ya maofisa wa Ubalozi ambao wamekwishastaafu lakini wanaendelea kupokea mishahara kutoka serikalini ambayo imekuwa ikilipwa kwa fedha kigeni.
Baadhi ya maofisa wa ubalozi wamekuwa wakitoa sababu mbalimbali za kifamilia zinazowafanya kuendelea kuishi huko ughaibuni zikiwemo za kuwasubiri watoto wao wamalize shule.
Nae katibu mkuu wa kudumu wa wizara hio Dr Aziz Mlima amekiri kupokea maagizo ya kamati hio ya bunge na kueleza kuwa taarifa itakuwa tayari ndani ya wiki hii kuhusiana na machanganuo wa matumizi ya Ubalozi wa Tanzania Uingereza.

Dar es Salaam.
The parliamentary Public Accounts Committee on Thursday has asked the ministry of Foreign Affairs, East Africa, Regional and International Cooperation to explain how the Tanzania High Commission in London spent Sh4.6 billion when it was only allocated Sh2.0 billion.
The committee was reviewing the ministry’s audited report for the year 2013/2014 and asked the ministry to submit a detailed report within four days.
“We want the ministry to submit the report to the parliamentary clerk next week so that we understand what is really going on,” said the committee’s chairman Mr Hilary Aeshi.
At the same meeting the committee directed the ministry to ensure that all retired officers still attached to missions abroad return home.
It emerged that there are various embassy personnel who, although they have reached the age of retirement are still being paid by the government.
The officials claim they are waiting for their offspring to complete the studies they have already embarked on outside the country.
The ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Dr Aziz Mlima said the retired embassy officials cite family related matters as reasons for extending their stay abroad.
He told the committee, “We will submit the report in time to the clerk in line with your instructions.”
