Nov 14, 2017: Tanzania offered a reward of 10 million shillings ($4,500) on Tuesday for the arrest of a former chief accountant of its anti-graft watchdog, part of a new drive to root out corruption.<\/address>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

President John Magufuli, in office since November 2015, has launched a crackdown on high-level corruption that has already seen thousands of public officials losing their jobs.<\/p>\n

John Mbungo, deputy director general of the state-run Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB<\/span>), told reporters that the agency\u2019s former chief accountant, Godfrey Gugai, is on the run after his assets were frozen in May as part of a graft investigation.<\/p>\n

The frozen assets include six vehicles and 40 apartments, houses and prime plots in the commercial capital Dar es Salaam and other urban centers.<\/p>\n

Public officials convicted of possession of unexplained wealth face a sentence of up to seven years in jail, a fine or both.<\/p>\n

Foreign investors have long complained that corruption is a big obstacle to doing business in the country.<\/p>\n
