The Tanzanian government has said there is no ill motive in asking civil servants to update their curricula vitae and include particulars of their religion and tribe, a move that had caused unease with employees questioning the rationale behind the new requirements.

Finance and Planning Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Tutuba said the details required in the new CV format are normal for any employee and those opposing the move have misinterpreted the reason for the decision.
