In return, the 15 members were asked to vote for Rashid Mohamed Rashid who was vying for the post of UVCCM vice-chairman. Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) Dodoma Regional Commander, Emma Kihanga told the Daily News yesterday that the Bureau had filed two charges against the politician and MP for Donge.
“He violated section 15 of the PCCB Act of 2007,” she said. The court however directed that the suspect be remanded pending another mention on December 19. The anti-corruption watchdog commander said investigation into the matter was not complete.
“In this case, only the chairman (Khamis) is being detained and has been brought before the Dodoma Residence Magistrate’s Court,” she said.
