Abstract
In Tanzania, traditionally corruption is defined as the misuse of public office for private gain. Today, corruption includes fraud, waste, abuse, bribery, gratuity, official misconduct, conflict of interest, embezzlement, larceny, forgery, and racketeering, just to mention the most common. Further, two types of corruption are highlighted: first, petty corruption is practiced by low-ranking civil servants and involves small sums of money; normally, it takes the form of delaying tactics in order to compel the service receiver to provide a bribe for the process to be sped up. Second, grand corruption is practiced by politicians and high-ranking public officials, and it involves large sums of money; it takes the form of circumventing laws and, in some cases, either a complete change to existing laws or the unacceptable interpretation of these laws in order to create an environment conducive to corruption.
