Tanzania President John Magufuli has called on all public institutions to cut expenditure on refreshments during meetings and have funds channeled to more important needs.<\/p>\n
In a letter to the University of Dar es Salaam, Magufuli decried “unnecessary heavy refreshments” being offered at meetings.<\/p>\n
Magufuli directed that lunch be served “in very rare and exceptional circumstances”, where a meeting that starts in the morning is expected to continue into late afternoon.<\/p>\n
“Clearance to offer lunch must be sought from the Finance Officer (C&B) in the DVC- Administration’s office,” he said.<\/p>\n
The president ordered that in meetings lasting up to two hours, only water, tea or coffee should be served.<\/p>\n
“Light refreshments may be offered at meetings in the morning or afternoon that last longer than two hours,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Such refreshments shall be limited to tea, water or juice and nuts\/fruits and shall exclude meats and heavy snacks.”<\/p>\n
