news alert: I depart the State House a Happy Man - Salvatory Rweyemamu
Out-going Presidential
Communications Director at the State House Mr. Salvatory Rweyemamu
speaks during one of the past many Press Conferences with his Assistant
Ms. Premy Kibanga
--------------------------------------------------------
One
of the most admirable attributes of this digital age sweeping our
lives, is the capacity it has created for would be volunteers, who are
in no way in shortage, in our society, to create and disseminate
discriminatory information regarding other people.
A
good example is the nonsense information that has been doing the rounds
in the last few hours about my departure, or imminent departure, from
my position as the Presidential Communications Director at the State
House.
The
truth of the matter is that during my eight plus years at the State
House, I have signed numerous contracts, the last of which expired on
September 11, this year, 2015 and it was renewed for a further 62 days.
The
end of this contract, as far as I am concerned, is Tuesday, November
10, this year 2015. I will officially hand over office tomorrow, Monday,
Tuesday 9, 2015 to Ms. Premi Kibanga, my very able assistant for all
those years. In fact today, Sunday, I was clearing my office and
preparing my handover notes.
I
leave the State House a very happy person and I would like to thank
President Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli and the 4th President of our
country HE Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete for their trust in my capacity to be
their assistant and the opportunity they gave me to serve our people and
our country at this level.
I
would also like to thank all the State House staff under the leadership
of, first Chief Secretary Philomen Luhanjo and now Ambassador Ombeni
Yohana Sefue, for their unwavering support over all these years. They
have been exceptional.
Finally,
I owe huge gratitude to my friends and colleagues in the media. Their
invaluable support over the years has been the pillar and strength of my
work at the State House during the Kikwete Administration. I thank you
all.
