The National Electoral Commission (NEC) of Tanzania handed President John Magufuli a cheque of surplus money from its budget of the elections of November 2015, worth over 5 million dollars.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr President, we were very stingy yet very diligent in our duties. So this surplus shouldn\u2019t mean that our work was compromised anyhow,\u201d the TEC Chairman said.<\/p>\n
NEC becomes the second public institution to hand over \u2018saved money\u2019 since the President Magufuli introduced cost cutting measures.<\/p>\n
The National Assembly also handed over 6 billion shillings approximately 3 million dollars.<\/p>\n
President Magufuli commended the NEC for saving such amount and handing it over to the government to cater for other activities of national importance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis reflects how NEC is very honest. A sum of 270bn\/- was allocated for last October\u2019s polls. They spent 261.6bn\/-. You would have even said that no amount has remained and no one would have discovered or doubted it,\u201d said President Magufuli.
