Love him or hate him, the east African country, Tanzania John Pombe Magufuli would not back down on his words and everything he says needs to get done, although he is not a dictator. John Magufuli loves to make changes, changes that will make Tanzania a country good to write home about and that is worth of emulation.
Since he assumed office as Tanzanian president on November 5, 2015, Magufuli has made some great changes in the country's government way of doing things and also in the lifestyle of its citizens.
These are some of the changes he has made so far:
1. He cancelled the country's Independence Day celebrations to save money because he realized that during those celebrations the country waste a lot of money.
2. He has banned government officials(himself, his deputy and prime minister exempted) from flying on first-class air tickets to save money. They can go for business and economy tickets.
3. He cut the state dinner for parliament opening budget by more than 90 percent to save money.
4. He has only 19 ministries under his cabinet to save money.
5. He cut a bloated delegation of 50 people set to tour Commonwealth countries to just four to save money.
6. He has ensured that all government meetings are held in government buildings to save money. No more hotels and expensive buildings.
Should all other African countries leaders do same, they would go far?
