Across the border, James Mwainyekule, Tanzania’s EWURA Director General, has been dismissed following a sharp surge in fuel prices. Together, their downfalls signal a broader regional reckoning, as governments confront mounting pressure over fuel governance, regulatory accountability, and the growing economic toll of instability in critical energy systems.
