However, President Kitwete, did not deliver an address at Kaitaba Stadium yesterday as earlier scheduled, prompting a large crowd that had gathered to disperse.
But President Kikwete inaugurated the Kagera Cooperative Union (KCU 1990) building as scheduled.
Contacted for clarification, State House spokesperson Salva Rweyemamu said he was forced to reschedule his public address to July 28 because it was late and most of the people were fasting.
“He explained when launching the building that other commitments delayed his arrival and he couldn’t address the masses in the evening because many people were fasting,” he explained.
Before his departure to Kaboya today, the Head of State officiated the inauguration of the High Court building in Bukoba.
Kagera Regional commissioner Colonel Fabian Massawe told journalists that among other activities, the President was expected to lay a foundation stone at Bukoba airport which is undergoing major renovations including upgrading it to a tarmac runway.
According to the RC, after attending the National Heroes Day, President Kikwete will proceed to Karagwe District where he will take part in two different events including official launching of 19 newly demarcated districts which will be representatively held in Kyerwa.
The other event involving President Kikwete will be the official launching of the Rural Electrification project to be held at Nyaishozi in Karagwe.
