Kukutschka, Paul Banoba and Brian Cooksey, Transparency International Date: 30 September 2019 The Tanzanian government under the presidency of John Magufuli has cracked down heavily on corruption. Despite the current anti-corruption campaigns, however, political, petty and grand corruption seem to be endemic in the country. The regime is becoming increasingly authoritarian, resulting in the suppression of dissent, banning of protests, and a crackdown on media and opposition forces. Observers state that populist anti-corruption operations have to give way to initiatives aimed at a systemic and structural overhaul to bring about lasting and meaningful change. © 2019 Transparency International.

  • Combating Systemic Corruption in Africa: Altitudinal, Attitudinal, Confrontational Or Constitutional?
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 9 (2016 9) 2092-2123 ~ ~ ~ УДК 328.185(1-926) Combating Systemic Corruption in Africa: Altitudinal, Attitudinal, Confrontational or Constitutional? Emmanuel Oladipo Ojo* Ekiti State University Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria Received 09.06.2016, received in revised form 12.07.2016, accepted 18.08.2016 The fact and reality of systemic corruption in Africa is irrefutable. It is therefore not surprising that the subject has attracted quite a great deal of attention from the academia. Thus, to assert that corruption is the greatest impediment to the socio-political and economic development of Africa is a superfluous understatement and a mere reinstatement of the obvious. Across Africa, incredibly huge sums of money sufficient to conduct free, fair and credible elections, equip the military and the police for optimum performance, revolutionize agriculture, rejuvenate education, resuscitate infrastructures, reinvigorate the economy, revamp the industrial sector and achieve scientific and technological emancipation end up in private vaults and pockets. The consequences of this are impaired economy, immobile technology, fractured infrastructures, ill equipped armed forces, unmitigated poverty and unprecedented brigandage and banditry. This paper does not intend to contribute to the oversubscribed debate on the origins, theories and causes of corruption in Africa; rather, it addresses the question of the option(s) that could best combat systemic corruption in Africa. The paper argues that neither the altitudinal factor nor constitutional provisions could combat corruption in Africa and concludes that only attitudinal change or the confrontation option could liberate the continent from systemic corruption. The descriptive and analytical method of historical research was employed in the analysis of the data obtained for the study.

Supervisor Mr. Fidelis Muzyamba iv ABSTRACT There is a growing concern in Zambia over what many media personnel regard as news worthy stories and in particular corruption-related stories. Many argue that the media would rather cover a political story than a news beat on corruption which is of great significance to their audience. Hence one is tempted to wonder as to whether the media deliberately ignore such stories or the ownership of a particular media house has a bearing on the type of news they cover.

  • Corruption and Anti-Corruption Strategies: Issues and Case Studies from Developing Countries
    CORRUPTION AND ANTI-CORRUPTION STRATEGIES: ISSUES AND CASE STUDIES FROM 3. DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ALAN DOIG AND STEPHEN RILEY Introduction Patterns of corruption vary from society to society and over time. This is particularly the case when we consider the “South”, the “Third World” or the developing countries. In order to understand the immense diversity of its origins, forms and effects across developing countries, we should examine the roles of both the internal 'stakeholders' in developing societies (such as politicians, business cliques and junior civil servants) as well as external actors (including western multinational companies and international financial institutions). In addition, reform strategies should take account of widely differing economic, legal and political contexts. Effective anti- corruption strategies need to be tailored to the social environment in which corruption occurs. As a result of this variety in patterns of corruption, there are problems in evaluating the current diversity of corruption and anti-corruption efforts; many advocate a single universal strategy to fight corruption. The intention of this chapter is to assess corruption and anti-corruption strategies in Botswana, Ecuador, Hong Kong and Tanzania, as well as attempts to reduce customs fraud in Mali and Senegal, in the light of such universal solutions. The chapter starts by outlining the current framework of governance and economic and political liberalisation within which many developing-country reform efforts are situated. This new reform agenda needs to be examined with reference to the huge upsurge in interest in reducing visible instances of public sector corruption in the late 1990s. Why has there been a 'corruption eruption' in recent years? The chapter subsequently outlines the key issues that need to be considered when combating corruption.

All rights reserved ISBN: 978-1-7344934-1-2 TO THE MEMORY OF VENTAKESH SESHAMANI Professor, Department of Economics University of Zambia (1947 – 2019) PREFACE The elusive quest for a prosperous economy and society has preoccupied Zambian politicians and policymakers since independence in 1964. The post-independence leaders have tried various ways, actions, strategies and practices to bring about sustainable growth but so far to little avail. This is in stark contrast with the experiences of East Asian countries, which were at the same level of development or poorer in the 1960s. One certainty is that achieving a prosperous, sustainable society needs timely, policy- relevant and evidence-based analysis about the past, the present circumstances, and future plans and aspirations.
