Tanzania’s main opposition party, Chadema, Tuesday said it would take court action following statements made by President Samia Suluhu Hassan with regards to party chairman Freeman Mbowe.

In an interview with the BBC Monday, President Samia said that investigations into the allegations against Mbowe began in September last year and the charges of terrorism and economic sabotage brought against the opposition leader were not politically motivated.
