Keep Obviously the nominator did not do any verification checking. Mwambi is a former Deputy Secretary General of the ruling Chama cha Mapinduzi party in Tanzania, and is a former regional commissioner of the
Tanga Region and
Rukwa Regions (equivalent to Premier, Governor, etc in other countries). So whilst notability as a diplomat is not fully there, as a Tanzanian politician he is more than notable. --

Significant coverage in reliable third-party sources, as required per the
primary notability criterion and
WP:POLITICIAN? At least any reliable third-party sources? Is it the same Jaka Mwambi or just another person bearing the same name?

WP:POLITICIAN is a proof of achievement secondary criterion. Sources found in a Google News search
[1] appear to verify enough to meet that standard.(
[2][3][4]) As for this possibly being some other Jaka Mwambi, ambassadors to Moscow don't come out of thin air. Unreliable sources found online say he rose through the party ranks to a nationally significant post. I don't see reasonable doubt here.

It is indeed the same person. If you compare the photo on the article, to
this photo, one can see they are one in the same. --

Keep per Russavia and per my comments above. He satisfies
WP:POLITICIAN. Non-trivial RS coverage to satisfy primary notability will likely be found eventually.

Keep and expand per Russavia. I think all ambassadors are notable and the guy seems also to be quite notable for his role in the Tanzania politics
