PRESIDENT Jakaya Kikwete has directed the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, Mr David Jairo, to remain on leave pending a probe by a Parliamentary select-committee on allegations of misconduct against him.
The Prime Minister, Mr Mizengo Pinda, told the National Assembly on Thursday that President Kikwete made the decision on Wednesday, a few hours after Mr Jairo reported on duty amid pomp and celebration, following clearance of the allegations in an earlier investigation.
"I want to inform the House that the PS has been directed to remain on leave by President Kikwete pending investigation by the select committee," Mr Pinda said during the routine Thursday 30-minute premier's question and answer session.
