CBE to introduce long-term course on corruption to bolster good gover

Professor Edda Lwoga, CBE Rector unveiled this in Morogoro yesterday at a training for capacity building on public and private sector employees on anti-corruption issues.

The training involved participants from inside and outside the country.

Prof. Lwoga said that CBE has already started the process of providing that course and she invited people from different countries to go and pursue the course at the college.

She explained that in order to ensure that the procedures of the course are followed; they will cooperate with the National Council of Examinations NECTA to find a Curriculum that will meet the teaching criteria.

The CBE Rector said that the course will be taught at the certificate level and later the students will be given exams that will be recognized in the country and will enable the graduate to work anywhere in the world.

“Currently at CBE we offer short courses to government and private institutions on the investigation of corruption, but we are currently planning to start offering long-term courses from the certificate onwards, we are preparing the curriculum once it is completed, we will send it to NECTA for review,” Prof. Lwoga said.

Stella Cosmas, CBE Lawyer and Corruption trainer, said that after starting the long-term certificate course, students will take international exams that will enable many Tanzanians to be recognized internationally.

She said that currently many institutions have hired people from outside the country to do the work while there are many youth here in the country who, if given the education, can do good work with great competence.

The Morogoro District Commissioner, Rebecca Nsemwa, said corruption is a big challenge in the country and greatly affects access to justice in decision-making bodies including the courts and the police.

She hailed CBE for introducing the course which she said will greatly help the country heighten efforts on the war against corruption as many people will have wider understanding of the effects of corruption.
