THE new Mwanza Regional Commissioner Mr John Mongela has announced tough actions against civil servants here as he warned against business as usual tradition in serving the people and abuse of office while calling for serious work.

Speaking as he was introduced yesterday, Mr Mongela (photo) who moved from Kagera Region in the same capacity said he had come into the region with special directives from President John Magufuli and asked all the leaders to comply otherwise they will find themselves in hot soup.

He delivered a message on the urgent need for the government officers both at the Regional Secretariat and the Local Governments to change their work attitudes and serve to the expectation of the public who had built negative image in the public servants.

“I have come here to ensure proper coordination of the government functions and I trust a huge team behind me will be doing the same. Our target should focus on ensuring not only maximum security but also true development of our people,” he said.
