According to sources in the Sidama region told “Ethiopia Insider,” Ato Tsgayu Tuke, the city’s leader for the previous three years, was fired because of “corrupt practises” and “weak performance.” After consideration, Mr. Tsagaye’s resignation was decided upon yesterday,.
On Sunday, August 7, 2015, the conference for evaluating the performance of the Sidama region’s party and government got underway. Other area leaders have reportedly been evaluated in addition to the mayor of Hawassau, according to one participant in this conversation. Ato Tsgaye, who personally attended the evaluations on Sunday, was absent from the review yesterday.
Ato Tsgaye was “deeply involved in corruption,” according to sources who took part in the discussion, and they offered material that was “verified by documents.” The sources noted that “the city of Hawassa, which was highly preferred, has gone backwards” in the same assessment.
