Naomba mlinde taifa lenu: Samia Suluhu tells gov't officials over 'outsiders'

Speaking during the swearing-in of new officials at State House Dar es Salaam, President Suluhu, who has been criticised following the arrest and deportation of activists from Kenya and Uganda, insists she is doing her duty of ensuring the country is safe from negative influence.

"Tulioko hapa ni sisi na hakuna mwingine. Kwa sababu ya uzuri na mathubutu ya taifa letu, mnaona yanayo tokea leo ya kwamba watu kutoka kwingine wanataka kuja kuvuruga huku ndani na kazi ya kulinda sio langu peke yangu, wala sio vyomba vya ulinzi na usalama peke yao ni sote, kwa sababu wakikosa huku watapita mawizara, mashirika letu, watataka kuingia kuvurugu. Naomba mkalinde taifa lenu," she said.
