Hoseah, Edward & Ngware, Suleiman. S. (Eds). Corruption and Struggle for Development in Tanzania (Dar es Salaam: Dar es Salaam University Press, 2010, pp. 68)

Abstract

Corruption is one of the critical challenges that face nation-states particularly in developing countries. It hinders them from advancing in socio-economic, political and cultural aspects. Thus, understanding its nature, form, causes, impact and ways of dealing with it becomes not only significant but also categorical. In their edited book "Corruption and Struggle for Development in Tanzania" Edward Hoseah and Suleiman S. Ngware attempt an analysis of corruption using the experience of Tanzania. The book discusses the problem of corruption in various institutions such as Local Government Authorities (LGAs), traffic police section, and journalism. The general observation put forward in the book is that corruption in Tanzania is systemic and the struggle against it is challenging.
