Its war time for drug traffickers, as Tanzanian government has announced the upcoming questioning of dozens of officials and others in the East African country regarded as a significant international hub for the trade.

Rogers Sianga, the first person to head the new Drug Control and Enforcement Authority, says no stone will be left unturned in the fight against durgs.

Sianga said he had ordered the arrest of all government officials who last year allowed the importation of 21 tons of chemicals reported as pesticides, but which could be used to make drugs.
In addition, Sianga said his office had a list of 97 people including politicians, businessmen, musicians and religious leaders who would be questioned in connection with drug-related offences.
The office was also preparing a list of judges who had not handled drug cases adequately to prepare for their eventual impeachment, the anti-drug boss said.
