PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGEMENT CELEBRATIONS IN TANZANIA




Visitors at the pavilion of the department of the Information Services, a division of the Ministry of Information looking at the old photographs of the national events that took place way back in late sixties and early seventies.

Among the photos that impressed the onlookers was that one of the former Ugandan military President, General Iddi Amin Dadaa who was met by President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania at the airport in one of the East African Community meetings in Arusha. (I presume we could never meet, probably one of the leaders told the other. The two Presidents had a long standing grudge that led to the collapse of the community in 1977 with President Nyerere who declared he could not tolerate to share the same table with Amin). Amin was deposed by Tanzanian forces in a war after he had annexed part of her territorial integrity and claimed to be part of Uganda in 1979 an aspect that forced him to seek for a refuge in Saudi Arabia where he died in 2003. President Nyerere died in 1999 at Saint Thomas Hospital in London due to an illness.

This is when the third Tanzanian Prime Minister, the late Edward Moringe Sokoine (aged 39) was taking an oath of the office on 8th February 1977. He is being sworn in by President Nyerere as the third Prime Minister of the country.
