However, the post baring his name was pulled down by the municipality of Ubongo which claims they didn’t not follow the right procedures while launching the streets new name.

Speaking during an interview Amani Sizya said,

“Kila jambo linautaratibu wake hata ukitaka kubadilisha jina la barabara lazima ufuate utaratibu kwahiyo hakukuwa na utaratibu uliofuatwa unajua ilikuwa haraka sana, lakini niseme tuu kwamba hili litafanikiwa na mtaa huo utatumika kwa jina hilo wakifuata taratibu,“
