FORMER Tanzanian Chief of
Army Staff (CDF), retired General Venance Mabeyo, has narrated what happened
before the death of the fifth term President, Dr. John Magufuli while making
clear the difficulties that existed before swearing in Samia Suluhu Hassan as
President. Mabeyo has said that the difficulty that existed caused more than 48
hours to pass before another President was sworn in contrary to the
Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania of 1977, due to the existence
of two parties who differed in their decisions.
General Mabeyo said this while speaking in a special interview with Daily News Digital, in commemoration of the death of President John Magufuli who died on March 17, 2021, at Mzena Hospital, Kijitonyama, Dar es Salaam.
