Tanzanian Vice-President Philip Mpango has ordered police to close roads for only a few minutes and not for hours when clearing VIPs to pass.
It came after police closed roads for four hours as Mr Mpango toured the northern Mwanza region on Wednesday.
He said this happened despite him warning the inspector general of police against long closure of roads.
“I don’t want to hear this happening again. Let the public use the roads. Is 10 minutes not enough?” Mr Mpango wondered.
He apologised to Mwanza residents over the traffic congestion he had caused.
