T
he Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) continues to perform its responsibility of preventing and fighting corruption in the country, in collaboration with various stakeholders, including the private sector, the media as well as the civil society. In addition, changes within the Institution bagan in 2007 after Law No. 11 of 2007 had been enacted. The changes have led to the Institution being effective in the discharge of its functions. However, there are challenges that the PCCB is tackling through its strategic plan.
The achievements and successes are the result of the Institution’s investment in human resources (by offering its staff training within and without the country to enhance their capacity and knowledge) and in various systems that enable the staff to be more effective and efficient. The systems include “Go-Case”, a HR Pay roll, a database” and ICT. The use of ICT has helped the Institution achieve significant, positive results. The PCCB is committed to continuous improvement of these systems so that it can reach the people easily, thereby ensuring that quality social services delivery are provided timely and fairly. The PCCB does this in an effort to reduce poverty and to make the Tanzanian economy grow. The achievements and successes for the year 2012/2013 are evident in the deployment of Preventive tactics, the conduct of investigations and the management of cases in courts of law, together with the provision of public education on the Prevention and combating of corruption. The increase in the number of completed investigations and of those that have already been submitted to the DPP is one of the PCCB’s sussesses in this year. Statistics show that new cases (27%) were filed in court in 2012/2013, compared to the year 2011/2012. This is a 10 percent increase. In addition, the amount of money that was saved during the reporting year is 5.4 billion shillings, which is an increase of 2.3 billion Tanzanian shillings, compared to the previous year. The Institution is all set to maximize results in the fight against corruption, by focusing on specific results areas, recruiting more members of staff, buying equipment and training its staff to address the challenges involved in fighting corruption in the country and in the world. The fight against corruption is holistic, it must involve each and every one of us and all the institutions (piblic, private, civil society and media). Once this approach is understood properly the battle against corruption will be won. We thank the PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
10 Tanzanian people for their cooperation, H.E President of URT Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete for his unfailing support to build capacity of the PCCB to deliver its core functions. The PCCB promises to continue cooperating with all stakeholders in this war. We also thank the Government for providing us with financial, human and other resources, all of which have made it possible for the Institution to discharge its functions with ease. We believe that in the next financial year we will make great strides in addressing the challenges we are currently facing.

SUMMARY
nstitutional responsibilities are divided into three main areas (Investigation, Research and Public Education). The fourth area has to do with empowerment (Administration, Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, including activities relating to Finance, Procurement and Internal Audit). Thus, this report provides the the results of the activities that the Institution carried out throughout the reporting year. In that year, the PCCB performed its functions and successfully met its objectives, compared to the year 2011/2012. This is the result of the Institution’s investment in its staff and in modern equipment which simplifies work but produces good results. For instance, the use of ICT led to the improvement of the quality of work and the rise in productivity, efficiency and speed in the execution of various functions. In the area of investigation, the Institution succeeded in reaching its goals. As far as major cases are concerned, success is more than 100 per cent. Investigations into eight major cases were carried out and completed. This surpasses the set objective of conducting investigations into seven major cases a year. Of the eight cases that were referred to the DPP for consent, four cases (50%) received the DPP’s approval to bring the accused to court. Investigations into 1,012 cases were also completed and 414 of these were sent to the DPP. Of these, 214 were passed. In addition, 304 new cases were filed in court and the suspects in 76 cases were found guilty. The challenge lies in balancing the number of investigations that the PCCB sends to the DPP and the number of those that get the approval of the DPP, and in balancing the number of new cases that are filed in courts and of those which are won. This report shows the successes realized at the National, Regional and District levels respectively. On prevention, a total of seven studies were conducted in 2012/13. By June 30, 2013, a total of four studies had been completed and three were going on.These studies were carried out in the Health, Election, Investment, Transportation Natural Resources and Energy sectors. Prevention of corruption by strengthening systems is a cross-cutting and continuous process that requires different techniques to be used. Therefore, the research and control that was done in 2012/13 is a first step towards the improvement of the systems found in the sectors which were studied. The Institution also received support from the public for their participation in various stakeholders seminars, rallies, debates and open discussions. This demonstrates the public’s readiness to support the fight against corruption. In 2012/2013, the PCCB improved its systems. These systems include GoCASE, an information storage system called a document management system (DMS), an integrated human resource management system (IPHRMS), an email
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
12 system (PCCB Mail), the system of protection and security that is used at the headquarters as well as a system of preventing the transmission of computer viruses used by regional offices. Similarly, the Institution provided staff with training inside and outside the country in order to strengthen and sharpen the skills and knowledge of its staff. Also, office building in the regions and districts were constructed for the purpose of improving the working envirnment, depending on the availability of money. There are also plans to build loan houses for the safety and security of staff, and so far 51 members of staff have signed contracts so that residential houses may be built for them in Kiromo, Bagamoyo. The Institution is implementing the strategic plan 2010/11 - 2013/2014 whose implementation ends in June 2014. In addition, another plan which ends in 2015/2016 has already been prepared and its implementation will begin in July 2014 and end in July 2016. The PCCB is partnering with the State House, the President’s Office (Public Service) and the Treasury in implementing budget and policy issues. This is in terms of the process of acquisition of money to run its day-to-day activities. Finally, the PCCB is an independent institution as stated in Law No. 11 of 2007, the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Act. PCCB budget is presented in Parliament by the Ministers of State responsible with Civil Service and Good Governance in the President’s Office. The Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Affairs, Law and Administration is responsible to oversee the Institution on behalf of the people of Tanzania. The Parliamentary debates and resolutions feed into the Institution’s framework review and focus. Other stakeholders that cooperate with the PCCB are the public sector, the private sector, the civil society and the Media.

CHAPTER ONE
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
14 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Fight against Corruption a) The fight against corruption in the country began in the colonial era. The sovereign Government of Tanzania engaged in the war against corruption by using colonial laws and procedures. In 1971, Act No. 16 of 1971 for the Prevention of Corruption was enacted. This law was amended in 1974 and Act No. 2 of 1974 was enacted. This law approved the creation of the Anti-corruption Squad. Throughout that period, Tanzania fought against corruption through the Prevention of Corruption Act that recognized only four kinds of corruption offences. But the economic, political and social changes that took place in our country and across the world necessitated the replacement of the Prevention of Corruption Act by a new law for Preventing and Combating of Corruption Act No. 11 of 2007. This law increased the number of corruption offences from 4 to 24 offences, including sexual abuses. The name of the Institution was also changed to PCCB from PCB. b) Implementation of Act No. 11 of 2007 has significantly changed the activities and operation of the Institution. The Institution’s structure has also been changed to suit the new law, district offices have been opened and special units have been established as well. Major improvements have been made in the areas of employment, expansion of offices, training of staff, purchase of equipment, construction of buildings and improvement of systems for the undertaking of Institutional activities. In addition, the law has led to the Institution to broaden the fight against corruption by carrying out investigations and prosecuting the suspects, rather than preventing corruption only. Investigations into petty and grand corruption cases have increased due to the implementation of the new law. The application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has also enbaled the PCCB to have new strategies for fighting corruption. c) One of the things that have been added to the new law is the participation of the civil society and the private sector in the fight against corruption. The citizens’ responsibility is to provide information regarding corruption practices to the PCCB. There is also a whistleblowers protection mechanism for protecting the people who provide information and those who testify in corruption-
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
15 related cases. Furthermore, the law underscores how corruption is a threat to development, democracy, human rights, good governance, peace and security in our society.
1.2 Other Laws The following laws, which are under other institutions, are applied in conjunction with the law for the Prevention and Combating of Corruption in the country:
i. Public Leadership Code of Ethics
In keeping with the Prevention of Corruption Act of 1971, in 1995 the Government enacted a law relating to the ethics of public servants with the aim of ensuring that leadership ethics that were set out in the Arusha Declaration are respected and protected. This law was repealed, thus leading to increased erosion of ethics by public servants and public agencies with regard to corruption, graft and embezzlement of public property. Due to this situation, the Government decided to enact the Public Leaders’ Ethics Secretariat through Article 132 of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania, 1977 to deal with unethical leaders.
ii. Corruption and Public Procurement In 2004, Act No. 3 of 2001 was deleted and the Public Procurement Act No. 21 of 2004 was enacted instead, in order to provide effective and transparent management in the procurement of goods and services by the Government and Public Departments and Institutions. This law focuses on various aspects of international agreements with the United Nations, Africa and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The law had sections for curbing corruption in the Government and Public Departments and Institutions’ procurement process. In 2011, this law was repealed and a new, public procurement Act No. 7 of 2011 was enacted. The new law hasn’t become operatioal yet, but it is expected that it will provide a good framework for curbing corruption in public procurement.
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
16 iii. Corruption and Elections Electoral Act No. 6 of 2010 provides provisions prohibiting the use of money in the process of nominating election candidates and in conducting election campaign. The law prohibits people from turning their right to vote into a business or product which benefits them financially. It is also aimed at bringing about equality between candidates during elections by preventing politicians using money to win elections. During elections, candidates are supposed to compete against each other through their policies, and not through money or any other kind of gifts given to voters.
1.3
Structural Reform The PCCB has been constantly improving its structure in order to improve its day-to-day operation. The Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation as well as the unit of Communication and Information Sharing were established in 2009 to help the Institution perform its responsibilities and achieve the intended results. Different systems have been improved to increase the quality of work and efficiency. One of the changes made is the introduction of employees’ open performance review and assessment (OPRAS).
1.4 Authority and Responsibilities of the PCCB The PCCB is authorized to prevent and fight against corruption as stated in the law for the Prevention and Combating of Corruption No. 11 of 2007. Its responsibilities, which are presented below, have been stipulated in section 7 of the law:

18 1.5 Vision and Mission of the PCCB The vision of the PCCB is to be an institution that executes its functions effectively and impartially and to be at the forefront in the fight against corruption in the country by 2025. Its mission is to fight corruption through public awareness, prevention, ‘diagnosis’, investigation and prosecution of corruption suspects and by involving stakeholders so as to make them understand that corruption has ominous effects on our society and that it has no benefit to it.
1.6 The PCCB’s Second Strategic Plan (2011/12-2013/14) The Institution is implementing a three-year strategic plan for 2011/122013/14 which provides direction to it for combating corruption following the existing laws, procedures and rules. The strategic plan is built on the successes of and the challenges faced by the previous strategy that was implemented from 2008/2009 to 2010/20011. The present plan provides a framework for the PCCB to operate along the lines of Vision 2025 and of the National Strategy for Growth and Poverty Reduction II. In addition, the Institution is implementing the national agenda concerning issues of corruption prevention and combating, ethics and and good governance. The strategic plan has the following four main objectives: a) To reduce the transmission of HIV to PCCB staff; b) To reduce the level of corruption in the country; c) To ensure there is a conducive working environment in the Institution and to provide facilities to the Institution; and d) To enable the Institution to have sufficient resources for performing its functions effectively.
1.7 The Relationship Stakeholders
between
the
PCCB
and
Various
The relationship between the PCCB and stakeholders can be seen in the way the PCCB cooperates with the Controller and Auditor-General (CAG) and the PPRA in the fight against corruption. Information from the CAG and the PPRA is forwarded to the PCCB for investigation. These relationships are good because they have a great contribution to the combating of corruption. There are various other stakeholders such as the TRA, the private sector, civil society oranizations and the media, all of which actively participate in this war. Also, development partners like the AfDB, the DFID, the UNDP and others help the PCCB fight against corruption. PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
19 1.8 Tanzania’s Role in the War on Corruption in the World
The PCCB represents Tanzania in various federations that combat corruption. The federations include EAAACA (East Africa), SAFAC (Southern Africa), African Countries Sub-Commonwealth (CAAACA) and the International Association of Anti-Corruption Agencies (IAAACA). These institutions work together in the fight against corruption by sharing experiences and strategies. On top of that, Tanzania continues to shine in the war against corruption in Africa and in the world, with the result that the PCCB Director-General Dr. Edward Hoseah was re-elected member of the Advisory Board on the Fight against Corruption of the African Union, effective from January 2013. This is the second time that Dr. Hoseah is elected member of this Board which, among other things, advises and manages corruption issues relating to the member states of the African Union. He was for the first time elected member of the Board on January 29, 2011 and was elected Chairman of the Board and led it for a period of one year. Other members of this Board are from Ethiopia, Côte d’ Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Burundi, Libya, Mali, Benin, Congo and Nigeria. Moreover, he was in 2013 elected Deputy President of the International Association of Anti-Corruption Agencies (IAAACA) in Panama. This is a special and important opportunity for Tanzania to be known in the international community, with respect to the combating of corruption.

20 1.9 The Role of Tanzania in the War against Corruption in East Africa According to the reports by Mo Ibrahim Foundation (2012) and Transparency International (TI), Tanzania, as a member of the East African Community, has done well in the fight against corruption. The other members of the Community, which have also been mentioned in the two reports, are Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi (see illustration below). Tanzania has been the vanguard in the fight against corruption in East Africa because of its infrastructure and programmes. For instance, NACSAP II and the ongoing reforms within the PCCB have helped the Institution significantly in educating the public about the effects of corruption. Â

21 1.10 Relationships with Foreign Institutions Various people from within and outside the country visited the headquarters of the PCCB to learn and share experiences, with respect to the combating of corruption. There have been more visitors during the reporting year than they had been the previous year. We received visitors from 20 Institutions, including South African and Zambian institutions, while in 2011/2012 we received visitors from only 15 institutions. These relationships are creating a good image of the PCCB inside and outside the country as an institution from which to learn how to fight corruption. This is the PCCB’s great contribution to the war on corruption even abroad. Â

PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
23 INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 The PCCB discharges its responsibility of investigating and managing corruption charges in the country. The discharge of this responsibility starts by the Institution receiving and investigating complaints of corruption and by looking into the reports submitted to it by such agencies as Controller and Auditor-General and the PPRA. The PCCB takes approapriate steps and manages charges relating to corruption through the law in order to identify loopholes that make people engage in corruption. In addition, the PCCB provides legal advice on issues relating to corruption and collects information concerning corruption. The result of the investigations is the filing and management of court cases. Generally, these activities result in the grand and petty corruption cases filed in court, received information, the information that is forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), ongoing investigations, as well as in a comparison of performance between the regional level and the district level. 2.1.2 Statistics indicate that performance by the Institution in the area of investigation and in the filing of corruption cases in court rose to a considerable extent in the year 2012/2013, compared to the year 2011/2012. These achievements are attributed to the success of the monitoring and evaluation that is done by individual members of staff, independent units, districts, regions, zones, and the like. During the reporting year, there was much efficieny in the following areas: i. Completion of 1,012 investigations, which is an increase of 98 investigations compared to the previous year; ii. Submission of 414 concluded investigations to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), an increase of 210 investigations compared to the previous year; iii. 214 investigations received the DPP’s approval, which is an increase of 102 investigations compared to the previous year; iv. New cases filed in fiscal year were 304, which is an increase of 27 cases compared to the previous year;
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
24 v. Judgement was delivered on various cases filed by the Institution. In these cases, convictions were 76, an increase of 10 convictions compared to the previous year; and vi. The Institution’s efforts to fight against corruption in this year enabled a total of 5.4 billion shillings to be saved, an increase of 2.3 billion shillings compared to the previous financial year.
2.2
Case and Investigation Results 2.2.1 Corruption-related Complaints Received 5,340 reports on corruption were received by various PCCB offices in the country for the financial year 2012/2013. The reports received rose by 7%, compared to 4,993 reports which were received in 2011/2012. This increase is due to growing awareness on the part of the public and to the PCCB’s efforts to educate the public throughout the country through the media, seminars, conferences, debates, drama, etc. (see Figure 1). This has helped to reduce the amount of information that was not related to issues of corruption which the PCCB used to receive.

The number of investigations that were completed during the financial year 2012/2013 was 1,012. This is an 11% increase compared to 914 investigations which were carried out and completed in the financial year 2011/2012. This increase is attributed to the priority studies undertaken in the areas of forestry, wildlife and agriculture, areas about which there were many corruption-related complaints such as complaints relating to the supply of agricutltural inputs. Some of the complaints were about embezzlement of funds in payment of salaries to ghost workers in the educational and health sectors (see Figure 2).

Performance at the Regional Level
Overall perfomance evaluation indicates that Dodoma region held the first position in the financial year 2012/2013. It replaced Kilimanjaro region, which held this position in the fiscal year 2011/2012. Kilimanjaro region currently holds the eighth position. Arusha region is in the second place and has risen from the seventh place which it held in 2011/2012. Iringa region is in the third place, followed by Lindi and Mara regions in positions four and five, respectively. Positions six to ten are held by the regions of Mwanza, Mbeya, Tanga, Mtwara and Shinyanga. In addition, Iringa sent 40 cases to the DPP, followed by Arusha and Mtwara, which forwarded 29 cases each. Lindi sent 28, Tanga 25 and Kagera 24. Tanga filed 25 new cases, Dodoma 23 and Mara lodged 20 new cases.
d. Performance at the District Level The performance indicators for the fiscal year 2012/2013 show that Mbarali district held the first place as it completed investigations and sent 11 cases to the DPP for approval. Six of these cases were approved and four suspects were taken to court. The districts of Kilwa and Nachingwea were both in the second position. Other top performers were the districts of Masasi, Kongwa, Kibondo, Bunda, Kyela, Kahama and Monduli. However, no district succeeded in referring twelve cases to the DPP. Masasi and Mbarali each sent 11 cases, Nachingwea 9, Monduli and Chato sent 8 cases each and Kilwa, Kongwa and Kibondo forwarded 7 cases each. In addition, the evaluation done indicates that Bunda district filed 6 cases, followed by Kilwa, Same, Kondoa, Kilindi, Mwanga and Karagwe, which lodged 6 cases each. Moreover, Kyela and Kahama won 4 cases each, followed by Kibondo, Bunda and Ukerewe, which won 3 cases each.

Performance at the Special Unit Level The review also shows that Ilula centre submitted 3 cases to the DPP, followed by Mtukula and Holili centres, each of which submitted 1 case to the DPP. However, Mtukula centre also opened one court case. Makambako and Chalinze centres each won a single case. All in all, this review challenges the districts and centres that did not forward even a single case to the DPP or file even a single case in court during the reporting period to work hard.

33 RESEARCH AND CONTROL DEPARTMENT 3.0 Introduction
In section 7(a) and (c) of the Act for the Prevention and Combating of Corruption No. 11 of 2007, the PCCB is mandated to inspect the systems and procedures that govern the performance of public and private institutions in order to identify acts and practices of corruption and to susggest to such institutions the best ways to prevent corruption and to oversee the implementation of the procedures to prevent acts of corruption from beeing committed. The PCCB has continued to combat corruption by strengthening systems by preparing research proposals, conducting research in various sectors and organizing and conducting workshops and meetings for stakeholders to discuss research findings and to devise strategies to curb corruption and to undertake timely monitoring. The goals are to solve the concerns of citizens, to monitor the implementation of the strategies to fight against corruption, to prepare reports on the implementation of the strategies and to produce publications on research and control. The Institution’s Research and Control activities are done by the headquarters, regions and districts as follows: (a) The Headquarters’ Goals • • • • •
To prepare at least three research proposals every year; To undertake at least three studies; To prepare at least three workshops to discuss research findings; To perform 3 control functions so as to curb corruption; and To monitor the implementation of resolutions and strategies for curbing corruption.
(b) Regional Goals • To do at least six “quickwins”; • To organize at least four stakeholder workshops to discuss the results of the “quickwins” and to develop strategies to combat corruption; and • To monitor the implementation of the resolutions for combating corruption and to prepare reports on the implementation of the resolutions.
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU

3.1.3 Stakeholder Workshops and Meetings In the war against corruption, involvement of stakeholders helps to build a common understanding of the existing corruption loopholes among the stakeholders and to create ‘’ownership’’ and to formulate strategies to fight corruption within the Institution. Involvement of stakeholders is done through workshops and meetings where corruption loopholes that have been identified are discussed and sustainable strategies to plug the loopholes are devised. The workshops and meetings held looked at the Energy and Mining sector, the Police, Local Government, Natural Resources and Tourism, Prisons, Water, Education, Agriculture and Livestock, Land, Healthcare, Works, Immigration, Transport, Finance, the Judiciary, Forestry, Cooperatives, Business and Sports. Details of the meetings and workshops held at the Headquarters, Regional and District levels are presented in the following table:

In 2012/13, 347 corruption controlling activities were undertaken in all the regions and districts in the country in the Energy and Mineral sector, the Police, Local Government, Natural Resources and Tourism, Water, Education, Agriculture and Livestock, Land, Healthcare, Works, Immigration, Transport, Finance, the Judiciary, Forestry, Cooperatives and Commerce. This is an increase of 170 corruption controlling activities, compared to those which were done in 2011/12.
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
36 3.1.5 Monitoring of Implementation of the Resolutions to Plug Corruption Loopholes The PCCB has the responsibility of coordinating the implementation of the resolutions and strategies designed to plug corruption loopholes in the departments or sectors studied and for which implementation of the resolutions and strategies was recommended. Monitoring takes place after implementation of the strategies agreed upon by both the PCCB and the stakeholders has been done. This monitoring requires the stakeholders to produce reports on the implementation of the strategies. On its part, the PCCB analyzes and reviews the implementation of the strategies to assess the progress made in the control of corruption. In the year 2012/13, a total of 144 monitoring activities were carried out in the Police, Local Government, Natural Resources and Tourism, Prisons, Water, Education, Agriculture and Livestock, Land, Healthcare, Works, Immigration, Transport, Finance, the Judiciary and Forestry.

4.2.12 Results of Public Education About 557,925 people were educated on corruption. 2456 seminars, out of 3542 seminars, were conducted. This is 69 per cent of all the seminars which should have been organized; 210 open debates, out of 492 debates, were organized. This is the equivalent of 36 per cent of the open debates that should have been conducted. 782 meetings, out of 1,476 meetings, were held. This is equal to 53 per cent of all the rallies that should have been held. 2,386 anti-corruption clubs, instead of 2,362 clubs, were established and strengthened. This number exceeds 100 per cent. 192 articles, out of 492 articles, were written. This is equal
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
45 to 39 per cent of all the articles that should have been written. 105 media reports, instead of 50 media reports, were broadcast. This number exceeds 100 per cent. 235 radio and television programmes, instead of 123 programmes, were aired. This number, too, exceeds 100 per cent. 118 exhibitions, out of 123 exhibitions, took place. This is 96 per cent of the set terget. These strategies have led to the rise in people’s awareness about corruption, so much so that the people openly express their grievances against this seemingly intractable problem.
4.3 Comparison on Public Education 4.3.1 The Comparison between 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 Statistics on performance between July 2011 and June 2012 and between July 2012 and June 2013 show some differences between the two periods with regard to the techniques used. The techniques used between July 2011 and June 2012 were mainly exhibitions. The techniques used between July 2012 and June 2013 were seminars, open debates, public meetings, anti-corruption clubs, articles, media reports and radio and television programmes. The PCCB used these techniques so as to reach many people in the rural areas. The result is that public awareness on corruption issues has grown impressively.
4.3.2 Comparison of the criteria used Overall assessment indicates that workshops are the most common method among others for creating awareness. This method has produced good results in educating the public about the impact of corruption and now, the general public is aware of their role in the fight against corruption. The use of anti-corruption clubs as another method has lead to increase in outreach especially among youth who are in colleges, secondary and primary schools. PCCB has deliberately focused on this group to enable the nation to have citizens and future leaders who are ethical and possess adequate understanding on the issues of corruption and therefore save the country from calamities associated with poverty and corruption.

4.3.3 Social Groups Outreach Outreach in social groups such as those of primary school pupils, secondary school and college students has been achieved to a large extent in comparison with other social groups as shown in Figure 10. The ratio between the three groups in awareness training indicates that the students have higher numbers in comparison to other groups, however, PCCB intends to increase numbers in these groups for better results.

4.4 Information Sharing About PCCB PCCB is working hard to make itself known to the general public. For it to be acknowledged and gain public cooperation, PCCB must divulge information in detail about its role and its activities.. The following methods will be adopted to share information about PCCB:
4.4.1 Video Documentary A total of 21 video documentaries on DVDs have been prepared and produced so as to provide information about PCCB. The video documentaries shall be used for airing on television, for record purposes and for office use in the future.
4.4.2 Publications During the period of July 2012 - June 2013, a total of 200,269 publications were produced as follows: 15,000 periodicals, 60,000 wall calendars, 3000 table calendars, 2000 diaries, 2,040 T-shirts, 2,040 hats, 2,000 stickers, 3 banner stands, 1,000 wheel covers and 113,186 leaflets.

PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
48 4.4.3 Use of Inflatable Screens Inflatable Screens were used to educate the public in open areas together with the use of short drama plays that demonstrated corruption involved in the electoral process , laws governing offenses of corruption in elections, the role of citizens in the fight against corruption in elections, the importance of citizens in the management of development projects and the history of the PCCB . This is a modern way of creating public awareness and drawing attention to the community so as to quickly convey the message to the community and also entertain the community.
4.4.4 Participation in Community Activities In order to strengthen ties between the PCCB and society, PCCB has been providing assistance and also participating in various social events. During this period a total of 39 social activities have been done in various regions in the country.

In addition, another plan which ends in 2015/2016 has already been prepared and its implementation will begin in July 2014 and end in July 2016. The PCCB is partnering with the State House, the President’s Office (Public Service) and the Treasury in implementing budget and policy issues. This is in terms of the process of acquisition of money to run its day-to-day activities. Finally, the PCCB is an independent institution as stated in Law No. 11 of 2007 of the Prevention and Combating of Corruption. PCCB budget is read in Parliament by the Minister of State in the President’s Office – Public Service. The PCCB disrcharged its functions in the reporting period far better than it did in the year 2011/12. Institutional responsibilities are divided into three main areas (Observation, Research and Public Education). The fourth area has to do with empowerment (Administration, Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, including activities relating to Finance, Procurement and Internal Audit). Thus, this report provides the the results of the activities that the Institution carried out throughout the reporting year. In that year, the PCCB performed its functions and successfully met its objectives, compared to the year 2011/2012. This is the result of the Institution’s investment in its staff and in modern equipment which simplifies work but produces good results. For instance, the use of ICT led to the improvement of the quality of work and the rise in productivity, efficiency and speed in the execution of various functions. The Institution’s achievements, challenegs and prospects are presented below.
6.2 Achievements 6.2.1 Investigations In the area of investigation, the Institution realized impressive achievements. These achievements are attributed to the good monitoring and evaluation done by individual workers, independent institutions, districts, regions, zones and centres. Investigations into 1,012 cases were completed. This is an increase of 98 investigations as compared to the investigations which were done the previous year. 414 cases were

The Institution received support from the society since the public and various stakeholders in the fight against corruption participaed in the seminars, rallies, debates and public meetings, open debates and various workshops. This is a clear sign of the fact that the general public is willing to take part in the war against corruption.

Moreover, the Institution helps its staff have standard houses through loan houses which are built for the security organs. 51 PCCB members of staff have signed contracts so that residential houses may be built for them in Kiromo, Bagamoyo. MSAGARA INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED has already got a contractor for building the houses. Indeed, construction has already begun and is expected to be completed in May 2012.
6.3 Challenges 6.3.1 Investigations Investigation activities need integrity, seriousness and good cooperation between PCCB staff and others, including the public. Also, to achieve the set objectives, the PCCB needs to observe the existing laws and procedures in the execution of its functions. There are challenges that hamper the execution of the Institution’s functions. The challenges include: a) PCCB lawyers not being allowed to manage cases at the High Court and the Court of Appeal; b) Lack of witnesses due to reasons such as people moving to remote areas, death and people’s fear to testify against those they know. This makes so many cases take a long time to be concluded; c) Lack of division of corruption charges, and thus causing so many corruption cases to take a long time to be concluded;
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
69 d)
Investigation of major cases by the headquarters take a very long time as collection of eveidence is done inside and outside the country, thus requiring legal assistance from other countries; and e) Poor cooperation between the PCCB and public and private departments and units in issues relating to corruption and difficulties in collection of information, getting witnesses and in undertaking investigations makes the discharge of duties by the PCCB tough.
6.3.2 Research and Control During the year 2012/13, the PCCB realized remarkable successes as evidenced by growth in the amount of the work carried out all over the country. Despite these successes, the Institution is facing the following challenges in the areas of research and control: • • •
Lack of a team of competent researchers who can do research efficiently; Stakeholders’ failure to curb corruption on time; and Late disbursement of funds by the Government.
To address these challenges, the PCCB suggests that its staff be trained, the collaboration with local and international anti-corruption institutions be sustained and that good relationships with and education to the stakeholders be sustained so that the stakeholders are aware of their role in the fight against corruption.
6.3.3 Public Education Public education is offered so that the public may not engage in corruption and participate in the prevention and combating of corruption. However, the Institution is facing the following challenges in this area: a) Some people still think that it is necessary to give or receive bribes in order to gain access to services; b) Lack of modern but cheap techniques for educating the public; and c) Many people think that only the PCCB is responsible for combating corruption in the country.
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
70 6.3.4 Challenges The following are the challenges that faced the Institution in the perfomance of its functions in 2012/2013: a) b) c) d) e)
Increases in operating costs and expenses of hiring buildings; Financial constraints that led to the failure to reach objectives like staff training; Contractors’ failure to complete construction of buildings on time; Employees staying in one station for more than five years; and Security systems and the rapid growth of technology, the use of the Internet as well as information carrying devices are a challenge to ensuring the safety of the PCCB’s information. To protect its information, the PCCB needs to use modern methods. It uses a lot of money to secure permission to use such methods, although it is faced with acute financial constrains.
The PCCB is faced with freaquent power cuts. As is well known, Tanesco’s supply of electricity is not 100% reliable. There have been frequent power cuts in different parts of the country. This situation has caused many electronic devices, especially those which are in the “Data Centre”, to be impaired, hence costing the PCCB a lot of money.f) Frequent power cuts affect the ICT systems and the facilities used by the Institution, for a lot of time is used to fix them. During the financial year 2012/2013, configurations of email systems, intranet, DMS, ALOT and a document storage system popularly known as Tembo (elephant) were impaired due to electrical failures which occurred more than ten times.
6.4 Prospects 6.4.1 Investigations The PCCB will continue fighting against corruption by completing investigations as the objectives of the Institution show. In addition, management of charges will be upgraded so as to file a good number of cases in court and the Institution expects to win many a case. This will curb corruption. The Institution is all set to maximize results in the fight against corruption in the fiscal year 2013/2014, by every level completing one investigation every month and by every district and regional office filing a single case in court every month. The headquarters shall complete seven
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
71 investigations and open seven cases in court. Also, there will be an increase in the use of ICT so as to enhance quality and speed in the discharge of functions.
6.4.2 Research and Control Preventing corruption by strengthening systems is a cross-cutting and continuous process that requires the use of different tactics to be successful. The research and control done during the year 2012/13 is a first step towards the improvement of the systems of the areas studied so that performance may be good. It is expected that this improvement will result in the provision of better services by the institutions that perform their duties in a transparent and accountable manner. Besides, the good response of the institutions studied should be a catalyst for such institutions to reform themselves and to prevent acts of corrption from being committed. In addition, the positive results of the research and control undertaken can be of great importance in raising public awareness and in investigating acts of corruption. To make this happen, it is important for the PCCB to manage research and control activities well. However, it is not easy to fight against corruption if the root of the problem is not known, particularly corruption arising from weaknesses in systems, laws and procedures in the public sector. The PCCB needs to strengthen its techniques of combating corruption. It also has to undertake scientific studies so as to identify existing gaps in the fight against corruption and to develop strategic plans for combating corruption, in collaboration with the stakeholders found in the areas it deals with. Because research and control activities are costly in terms of funds, skilled human resources and facilities, the PCCB hopes that the Government will increase the amount of money that is allocated to it.
6.4.3 Public Education Public education is very important in the fight against corruption. Most of the regions that did very well in this area also conducted a good number of investigations and filed a number of cases in court. This shows that these two activities are interdependent. If the people are educated on the effects of corruption they provide information about corruption, thereby making the war on corruption even more effective. Various people from inside and outside the country visited the headquarters of the PCCB to learn and share experiences with their counterparts. There were more visitors in the reporting period than there had been previously. Indeed, 20 visitors visited the headquarters
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
72 of the PCCB in the year 2012/13 and only 15 visitors did so in the year 2011/12.NACSAP II is a sustainable strategy that is being implemented. It is in its final stages of enhancing ethics and accountability. Preparation of NACSAP III is underway. The main goal of NACSAP is to work towards the realization of the goals that were not met during the implementation of NACSAP II and the strengthening of ethics.
6.4.4 Improvement The Institution will invest in its members of staff to enable them to work professionally and will purchase modern equipment which simplifies work and produces good results. The aim is to increase efficiency by investing in better systems and modern infrastructure. However, much work needs to be done to achieve the the goals of the PCCB. The regions that performed below par need to work hard so as to reach the Government’s objective of greater impact now. It is expected that there will be more and better results in the year 2013/2014 than the previous year because the Institution has invested much in its staff and a lot has been done to raise the capacity and efficiency of the workers for the good of the Institution in particular and the nation in general. Raising productivity by using ICT and information systems neccessitates the increase in the amount of money that is allocated to the PCCB at all levels. The building of ICT infrastructure is in progress, besides increasing the use of computer systems and empowering the members of staff to use such systems in a safe manner.
6.5 Strategies To address the challenges encountered, the Institution shall: a) Continue using effective ways of educating the public so as to reach many people and to build social values and patriotism; b) Continue using the media to convey infomation about the fight against corruption to different groups in the society; c) Make use of religious leaders and the youth to spread social values; d) Establish anti-corruption clubs in primary schools; e) Continue discharging its functions according to the funds available, as well as continuing to build its buildings; f) Develop approaches that enable PCCB staff to work as a team in formulating plans and preparing budgets from the district level to
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
73 g)
h)
the headquarters level; Monitor and evaluate the discharge of its functions and shall ensure that all members of staff at all levels fulfil their duties in line with the strategic plan for a particular period of time so that goals can be achieved; Establish alternative sources of energy, especially solar energy, for all the ICT facilities found in “server rooms” so that in the event that power goes off they may contiue working; and i)
Make the information sharing systems (Go-CASE, IHRMS and PCCB Intranet) available to the regional offices that have been linked up to the headquarters.
6.6 CONCLUSION Overall, in the fiscal year 2012/2013, the Institution was able to discharge its functions and achieve the objectives of its strategic plan more successfully than in the year 2011/2012. This is the result of the investement in its staff and availability of modern equipment which simplifies work and produces good results. For instance, the use of ICT by the Institution has contributed significantly to improvement in the quality of work, productivity, efficiency and speed in the execution of day-to-day activities. In the area of investigation, the PCCB realized remarkable successes in the reporting period. It succeeded by more than 100 per cent as it managed to investigate eight major cases, instead of seven major cases which the Institution is supposed to investigate in a year. Of the eight cases that were resubmitted to the DPP, four cases (50%) got the DPP’s approval to take the accused to court. 1,012 cases involving petty corruption were also submited to the DPP, out of which 214 cases were approved. In addition, 304 new cases were filed in court and 76 suspects were found guilty. Of course, the challenge lies in balancing the number of cases that are sent to the DPP and of those that are approved, and in balancing the number of new cases that are opened in court and of those which are won. Moreover, a total of seven studies were done in the year 2012/13. By June 30, 2013, four studies, out of the seven studies, had been completed and three were still in progess. The studies were undertaken in the Health sector, Elections, Investment, Transportation, Natural Resources and Energy. The research and control done in the year 2012/13 is a first step towards the improvement of systems in the respective sectors.
PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CORRUPTION BUREAU
74 The Institution received support from the society since the public and various stakeholders in the fight against corruption participaed in seminars, rallies, public meetings, open debates and various workshops. This is a clear sign that the general public is willing to take part in the war against corruption. In 2012/2013, the PCCB improved its systems. These systems include Go-CASE, an information storage system called a document management system (DMS), an integrated human resource management system (IPHRMS), an email system (PCCB Mail), the system of protection and security that is used at the headquarters as well as a system of preventing the transmission of computer viruses used by regional offices. Similarly, the Institution provided staff training inside and outside the country in order to strengthen the skills and knowledge of its staff. Also, office building in the regions and districts is done for the purpose of improving the working envirnment, depending on the availability of money. There are also plans to build loan houses for the safety and security of staff, and so far 51 members of staff have signed contracts so that residential houses may be built for them in Kiromo, Bagamoyo. The Institution is implementing the strategic plan 2010/11 - 2013/2014 whose implementation ends in June 2014. In addition, another plan which ends in 2015/2016 has already been prepared and its implementation will begin in July 2014 and end in July 2016. The PCCB is partnering with the State House, the President’s Office (Public Service) and the Treasury in implementing budget and policy issues. This is in terms of the process of acquisition of money to run its day-to-day activities. Finally, the PCCB is an independent institution as stated in Law No. 11 of 2007 of the Prevention and Combating of Corruption. PCCB budget is read in Parliament by the Minister of State in the President’s Office – Public Service. According to the reports by Mo Ibrahim Foundation (2012) and Transparency International (TI), Tanzania, as a member of the East African Community, has done well in the fight against corruption. The other members of the Community, which have also been mentioned in the two reports, are Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. Tanzania has been the vanguard in the fight against corruption in East Africa because of its infrastructure and programmes. For instance, NACSAP II and the ongoing reforms within the PCCB have helped the Institution significantly in educating the public about the effects of corruption.
