Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu has ordered all police officers with big tummies to return to training to lose weight.
President Suluhu while commemorating the completion of the training of officers in Boma Kichaka Miba, in Tanga maintained that in order for police officers to be effective in their duties, they should not have large bellies.
“As I was inspecting the parade, I noticed those leading the march were veteran officers and among them were big-bellied officers. We are not supposed to have officers with big bellies,” said the Head of State.
She stated that the officers in question should get back to the training facility and get fresh training to make them fit.
“They should go back for training so that they shed them off and be swift again in executing their duties,” she ordered.
Ms Suluhu took over the country’s leadership following the death of her boss President John Pombe Magufuli in March last year.
