    Politically exposed persons and economic criminality : the case of Tanzania
    (University of the Western Cape, 2015) Mlingwa, Esther; Koen, Raymond

This state of affairs raises fundamental questions about the management of senior government officials, also known as politically exposed persons (hereafter referred to as PEPs).
