Dodoma — President John Magufuli is expected to grace the re-opening ceremony of Dodoma Airport on Friday, next week, after undergoing a major expansion.

The Dodoma Regional Commissioner (RC), Mr Jordan Rugimbana, said here on Wednesday that the expansion was part of the government's initiative to move to the country's designated capital city. "This demonstrates President Magufuli's commitment to move to Dodoma," said Mr Rugimbana when he was speaking at a meeting with Ahmadiyya community members.

He called upon religious leaders to carry out their duties without any hesitation and should refrain from engaging in political activities which were not part of their roles.

"The government supports efforts made by religious institutions in preaching peace and lashing out at evil deeds, including corruption which has been exploiting our nation," he said.

The Ahmadiyya Community representative, Mr Abdulrahman Ahmed, said Muslims should observe the religion's pillars, saying they promote peace.

"Islam is not about killing each other or suicide attacks as our fellow worshippers have been misleading members of the public," he said. Mr Ahmed said the Ahmadiyya community has enjoyed good relations with the government since independence because its teachings promote peace, adding that the teachings prevent people to mix up politics with religion.
