Nazir Mustafa Karamagi/Mwizi (born December 13, 1953) is a Tanzanian politician and a Member of Parliament in the National Assembly of Tanzania, representing Bukoba Vijijini constituency.[1]
Karamagi has been a member of the National Executive Council of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM since 2002.[1] He was appointed Minister of Industry, Trade and Marketing in the Cabinet named on January 4, 2006.[2] He was then moved to the position of Minister of Energy and Minerals on October 15, 2006,[3] remaining in the latter post until he resigned on February 7, 2008, after being implicated in a scandal regarding a government contract to supply emergency power. His resignation came shortly after Prime Minister Edward Lowassa resigned for the same reason.[4]
According to Karamagi, he took over the Ministry of Energy and Minerals six months after the government had signed the aforementioned contract, which Karamagi said was a deal made in good faith and intended to provide more energy for the country.[4]
