President John Magufuli has appointed chairman of the board of Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) to head country’s central bank; Bank of Tanzania (BoT).
Prof Florens Luoga will assume office from January next year in replacement of outgoing Prof Benno Ndulu whose tenure at the head of the BoT will come to an end in January 2018.
