Abstract
Today’s Tanzania is not and cannot be immune not only to petty
corruption but also to grand and looting forms of corruption. It is under
intensive corruption! Corruption is being institutionalised and it has
been accepted as a vice that one can benefit from and it has become
“as the cancer in the society”. Corruption as a phenomenon has eaten
deep into almost if not all strata of African society and it has been and is
accepted as part of our culture and “the moral principle in operation here
is one of utilitarianism: as long as my choice of action brings some good
to me, it is okay.”If not stopped, corruption is always the main cause of
the moral and social break-down of our society. It is even
internationally acknowledged that, systematic corruption is prevalent
and entrenched in most of sub-Saharan countries of which Tanzania is
one of them.
