strategies should address systemic causes of bribery, deception and fraud. Some of the systemic causes are: lack of incentives/disincentives for engaging in bribery within public service. If for instance heavy penalties were imposed and enforced on government officials involved in bribery/fraud, it could have reduced the incentives to do so. Very unfortunate impunity is the order of the day and many government officials involved in fraud get away with it.

Moral decay and society accepting unexplained wealth as a symbol of status. For many years, wealthy government officials were branded as good role models by relatives, kin and friends. Very few members of society questioned their wealth. Instead, they were the most respected individuals in churches/mosques and in many places of social standing. As such, once employed in public service, individuals were learning the tricks of how to enrich themselves to secure high status in society. Many graduates were spending good time to secure employment in public service, despite claim that salaries were lower compared to the private sector and or non governmental sectors.

Society at large need to distance itself from corrupt and fraudulent individuals. It is very unfortunate that fraud pervades all aspects of society including religious institutions. This means the moral basis for fighting fraud is depleted/compromised. For instance, why are society members remaining silent while knowing that individuals have secured enrollment at university or employment using fraudulent means such as forged certificate and or sexual favors?

Lack of strong and politically willed leadership to enforce laws against corruption, fraud and bribery. Strong leadership is that which can enforce its will, laws and policy for the good of all or common good. Tanzania has many good policies and laws related to addressing malaise such as bribery, fraud and the like. Unfortunately, many of these policies and laws are not implemented or followed through with adequate budgets and other resources for their realization. In some cases, the laws are ignored or disregarded on political pursuits. Establishing an anti corruption bureau without adequately resourcing it is in my view a sign of lack of strong leadership and or lack of political will. Like many other public accountability bodies, it is perhaps not adequately resourced to carry out its functions. Even where such bodies are well resourced through donor funding, they remain captured by politics of the day. The current constitution centralizes powers in the executive arm of the state. As such, all senior positions such as those of the head of anti corruption bureau, ethics commission are appointed by the executive. This makes the head of anti corruption bureau and heads of other public accountability bodies subservient to the appointing authority. This weakens the ability of the executive in regards to holding fraudulent public officials accountable.

Inadequate moral and legislative framework to support self regulation among professional bodies. Cases of bribery, fraud are rampant in business areas where the bulk of work is secured through public procurement. In some countries, a good example is Australia self regulation among professional bodies has helped in reducing bribery and fraud in business. Leaving regulation and management of bribery and fraud in hands of government, imposes heavy burden on them and their tax payers. As such, professional bodies are better placed to regulate members within the profession. However, for professional bodies to manage and regulate member behaviors, they need an enabling environment in form of legislation and political support. This is now emerging in Tanzania especially in engineering, legal and medical professions. Occasionally we hear so and so has been de-registered by the engineers registration body.
