This week the Tanzanian leader said he wants prisoners in his country to live in harsher conditions.

He wants inmates to work “day and night” and be prevented from benefiting from conjugal visits.

“It is a shame for the country to continue to feed prisoners. All the prisons have fields, inmates must cultivate them,” Magufuli said.

He also said “Some prison staff don’t have homes. Make the prisoners work, let them make bricks day and night. If they show laziness, kick them. You have labourers, and for free”.

Magufuli in February also claimed to have the solution to the high level of prostitution among women in his country.

The Tanzanian leader asked men to marry two or more women to reduce the rate of prostitution among Women.

Magufuli told a gathering of men that unmarried women are resorting to adultery due to ‘lack of men to marry.’
