This is an excerpt from an article which recently appeared on the front page of a large news outlet in TZ (SundayNews). As for the incident it depicts, I have a very good alibi.
"Tanzania's beliefs of the occult have finally forced Parliament to form a special probe committee to establish the truth about one of its members suspected of having performed 'withcraft ' rituals within the premises of the...House in Dodoma, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr. Samuel Sitta has announced.
"Mr. Sitta...told a seminar...that the committee...was set up over the weekend to look into allegations that an MP conducted 'superstitious practices' within the Parliament building.
"Mr. Sitta explained that the six cameras within Parliament were switched off at the time the 'witchcraft' practices were said to have taken place, but added 'there was one camera on in the studio.' He fell short of saying it actually happened when he alluded to 'hazy pictures' the police 'were working on to create a better picture.'
"...the Speaker admitted that...the MP for Kyela, Dr. Harrison Mwakyembe, last Thursday 'felt weak' and 'lost strength' in the course of the day's Parliamentary session.... some powders were found where he was sitting.
"Mr. Mwakyembe is famous for leading a Parliamentary probe committee on the multi-billion emergency power supply scam which implicated the Richmond Development Company - which subsequently led to the resignation of former Prime Minister Edward Lowassa, [the] former Minister for Energy and Minerals... and [the] former Minister for East Africa Cooperation...
"The committee [led by Mr. Mwakyembe] had also urged the government to take action against the culprits within three months."
New analysis: Millions were stolen. Top officials were involved. The scam was discovered. The Prime Minister resigned. Witchcraft was performed. The man leading the investigation became weak. Powders were found.
You should see what was on page two.
