Magufuli sacks deputy health minister

Tanzania’s President John Pombe Magufuli has appointed Dr Godwin Mollel as the new deputy Health minister after sacking Dr Faustine Ndugulile from the position.

Dr Ndugulile, 51, a microbiologist and public health advocate, has served in the ministry for about three years.

President Magufuli picked Prof Mabula Mchembe as the new PS at the ministry while Prof Abel Makubi was named the new chief medical officer.

The changes have come at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic is ravaging the country with all eyes trained on the Health ministry.

Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday ordered the closure of borders with Tanzania as cross-border Covid-19 infections continued to rise.
