Serengeti District Commissioner Dr Vincent Mashinji has been transferred to Manyoni district in a swap transfer with his counterpart, Kemirembe Rose Lwota, according to a State House statement released yesterday.
Before he defected to the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi, Dr Mashinji was the secretary general of the opposition Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA).
Serengeti district is home to Tanzanias wildlife wealth earning the country the much-needed foreign exchange for attracting tourists from various parts of the world.
