    Fighting corruption in the energy sector in Tanzania
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Lukiko, Lukiko Vedastus; Hamman, Abraham J.
    This study contributes to understanding the governance challenges that impact on Tanzania’s future as a petroleum producing state. It considers corruption, which has fuelled insecurity, violence, and poverty in most of the oil producing African nations, as a vulnerability in the energy sector. It therefore examines Tanzania’s policy, legal, and institutional preparedness for overcoming this challenge before its petroleum industry booms. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that, throughout the post-independence period, corruption levels in Tanzania have remained relatively high. The energy sector is one of the economic sectors that has suffered from several grand corruption scandals, particularly the Richmond and the Independent Power Tanzania Limited/Escrow scandals.

    Tanzania’s post-independence anti-corruption efforts: Examining the prevention and combatting of corruption bureau’s (pccb) role during Magufuli’s regime
    (University of Western Cape, 2020) Lukiko, Lukiko Vedastus; Kilonzo, Claudi; Kimela, Hasani
    During the five years of John Magufuli’s presidency, Tanzania’s anti-corruption efforts yielded significant improvements. This improved performance was associated mainly with the President’s personal anti-corruption stance. Institutions entrusted with fighting corruption, particularly the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB), appear to be performing their functions based on the attitude of the incumbent President towards the problem. This creates a risk of personalising anticorruption instead of institutionalising it. Unfortunately, President Magufuli passed away in March 2021 and the sustainability of his anti-corruption approach is now in question. This article assesses Tanzania’s post-independence efforts to fighting corruption, and specifically examines the role of the PCCB during the reign of President Magufuli. We argue that during Magufuli’s presidency, the anti-corruption approach in the country has been top-down instead of bottom-up.
