Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

to a lower rank, status and pay which is a demotion as
per definitions of the staff regulations
• The transfer letter included a probationary provision
for a period of six months after which “the Director may
be” confirmed and that the salary would have remained
“personal to himself”, this means that the chief
manager would have continued to receive a salary of a
director and be in probation as a new employment
• Despite the complaints by the former Director on the
injustice done to him via letters dated 28/6/05,
22/7/05 and 29/7/05, the Director General wrote to the
complainant that he considered the matter closed
without provision of any solution to the complaints.
Further, via letter NSSF/C/PF/778/103, the Director
General threatened the complainant for the disciplinary
action if he would have repeated the similar instances.
No clear explanation was give justify the intention of
the Director General to do so.
• Further, management communicated Salary scale status
to the then DHRA through fax by stating that “when the
fund’s salary structure reviews were made in July 2005
you were no more a director and hence your salary
could not be pegged retrospectively”. This sentence
seems to be a contradiction to the original letter of the
transfer dated 22/2/05.
• On Wednesday 8/3/06 the complainant wrote to the
chair of the Board of trustees but the chairperson did
not respond until 15/8/07 i.e 18 Months letter despite
reminders of 11/9/06 and 12/6/07. On the response,
the chairperson confirmed some weakness in the
transfer and on salary case the chairperson showed an
indicator of limited information. The circumstance
implies that the management is doing injustice to its
staff. We of opnion that NSSF Board of Trustees should
intervene on the matter and provide satisfactory
information for audit scruitininy.
