Zanzibar will be the backbone of the continent's economy

Zanzibar's presidential candidate through the ACT-Wazalendo ticket, Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad, has said he intends to make Zanzibar the economic hub of Africa.

Maalim made the remarks at a campaign rally held at Alabama Michenzani Stadium in Unguja Urban District.

Maalim Seif has said he intends to make Zanzibar a port, where traders will be able to import their goods free of charge and at the time of delivery they will be charged very little tax.

He said if he did so, traders from East and Central African countries would be able to enter Zanzibar and get all the goods they wanted and the tariff would be lower.

Maalim Seif also made it clear that in his five years he will ensure Zanzibar has its own airline whose flights will fly around the world.

kenya who ate $ 71 Million corona ‘cried

Kenya's prime minister, Noordin Haji, has ordered a $ 71 million investigation into what he says is an "unusual purchase" by the Medical Equipment Distribution Authority, KEMSA, linked to the Covid virus epidemic.

Hospital staff in the country, who are facing a difficult situation in their work, have staged strikes against corruption in the commission, which buys and distributes medicines and medical equipment for public hospitals in the country.

Three weeks ago, President Uhuru Kenyatta called on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to review contracts awarded to celebrities, and others, without knowing the rules of public procurement.

His report was presented on Friday to the prosecutor, who concluded that there were "extraordinary purchases and fraudulent payments" amounting to $ 71 million.
