David Mathayo
David Mathayo is a Tanzanian CCM politician and Member of Parliament for Same West constituency since 2005.
Career
He is the current Minister of Livestock and Fisheries Development. He is known to have emigrated to Botswana to teach at an agricultural college in Serowe. He is currently serving as the deputy minister for agriculture.
Doctor Mathayo was one of the youngest MPs to be into a ministerial post.
His selection was the epitome of president Kikwete"s new leadership style which disregarded age as a factor and valued education and talent. Mathayo"s qualifications have been a subject of debate in the public since his selection into his current ministerial position.
According to his on-line CV1, he graduated in Sokoine (Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine) in 1997 (this qualification as a vet doctor is undisputed). From here he went to teach at a college in Serowe Botswana where he also got his M.Sc (1998–2001, then he got his Pg.Dip (2000–2001), then his Doctor of Philosophy in Agriculture (2001–2003).
Many people who know Mathayo personally including his Sokoine University lecturers believe that his postgraduate qualifications, especially the Doctor of Philosophy, are unlikely to be genuine.
Recently the Tanzania Commission for Universities (Texas Christian University) wrote a letter that they had verified the authenticity of Doctor Mathayo"s certificates.2 However, the question still remains whether the Texas Christian University verified the certificates or the actual studies and qualifications of Doctor Mathayo.3
