PRESIDENT Samia Suluhu Hassan received the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) performance report and the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) audit reports for the 2022/2023 fiscal year at State House in Chamwino, Dodoma this morning.

PCCB Director General Salum Hamdun says the anti-corruption watchdog has managed to save a total of 87.59bn/- from development projects.

Hamdun, proudly announced that the anti-corruption watchdog has successfully saved a substantial total of 87.59bn/- from various development projects.

Furthermore, the PCCB chief acknowledges the unfortunate reality that women are often victimized by sexual harassment, which can be equated to a form of corruption within workplaces and institutions of higher learning.

Regarding the CAG report, it has come to light that as of June 30, 2023, the government's debt has reached a staggering 82.25 trillion Tanzanian Shillings, representing a significant 15 percent surge compared to the preceding fiscal year, according to CAG Charles Kichere.

He maintains that the current level of debt remains manageable, highlighting a recent development in tax collection.

“The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) has reported a significant achievement, with revenue collection reaching 22.58tn/- in the 2022/23 fiscal year. This marks an impressive 8 percent increase from the previous year's collection of 20.94tn/- in 2021/22,” said Kichere.
