Tanzania’s President Jakaya Kikwete dissolved his cabinet Thursday night after accepting the resignation of Prime Minister Edward Lowassa over allegations of corruption. Prime Minister Lowassa tendered his resignation after a select parliamentary committee on energy presented a report of its investigation of an emergency power project, which was meant to resolve the country’s energy crisis. But the report found corruption at the core of the project, awarded to the US-based Richmond Development Corporation. Prime Minster Lowassa took the fall after claiming political responsibility for the failed enterprise.
