Zanzibar forms team to probe Mv Skagit disaster

AS many people including legislators commend Mr Hamad Masoud Hamad for resigning from the post of Minister for Infrastructure and Communication, the Zanzibar President Dr Ali Mohamed Shein has tasked an investigation team, headed by High Court Judge Abdulhakim Ameir Issa, to probe the July 18, 2012 boat disaster which killed at least 78 people.

It is the same team which probed the Sept 10, 2011 ferry disaster which led to the loss of at least 203 lives while several are still missing.

The team consists of officials from the judiciary, defence/security service, and maritime corporations.
The ten-member probe team includes TPDF Navy commander Major General Said Shaaban Omar, Commander of the Zanzibar navy (KMKM) Hasan Mussa Mzee, Captain Abdallah Yussuf Jumbe, Captain Abdallah Juma Abdallah, and Advocate Salum Toufiq Ali.
 The other members are Captain Hatib Katandula, Ms Mkakili Fauster Ngowi, Mr Ali Omar Chengo, and Lawyer Shaaban Ramadhani Abdallaah, who becomes the secretary of the commission also in the team.

Meanwhile Shein yesterday sworn-in Mr Rashid Seif Suleiman as the new minister for Infrastructure and Communication.
CCM and CUF Officials concurred that the resignation was an indication of political maturity and development in democracy where leaders accept responsibility.
 “Hamad has shown political maturity. It is respect to him, his electorate, his party (CUF) and the Government of National Unity (GNU). Other ministers should learn from Hamad,” several lawmakers said in the House.

    Same team ? Their last enquiry did not do any good as 6 months later another ferry sank

    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your
    post seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
    I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know.

    The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem
    solved soon. Kudos
