Section B
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Corruption remains a pervasive obstacle to Tanzania’s development, undermining public trust and economic progress. It manifests in forms such as bribery, nepotism, and misappropriation of public funds, often within government institutions. This erodes the quality of public services, including healthcare and education, and discourages foreign investment. The Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) has been established to tackle this issue, but its effectiveness is hampered by political interference and inadequate resources. Deep-rooted cultural attitudes that normalize certain corrupt practices further complicate eradication efforts. Systemic reforms and public sensitization are critical to fostering integrity.
