In a move that has sent shockwaves across Tanzania and the wider East African region, President Samia Suluhu Hassan has appointed her daughter, Wanu Hafidh Ameir, as Deputy Minister for Education and her son-in-law, Mohamed Mchengerwa, as Minister of Health.
The appointments were part of a new cabinet reshuffle following her election victory in October 2025, but critics are calling it blatant nepotism, sparking heated debates online and offline.
While supporters argue that both appointees are qualified politicians in their own right, others fear this move could consolidate power within the president’s inner circle, raising questions about transparency and governance.
Social media users have flooded platforms with mixed reactions — from outrage to support.
Political analysts warn this could set a precedent for family-centered governance in Tanzania.
