THE Prevention and Combating of Corruption (PCCB) has warned civil servants in municipal councils not to solicit bribes during service delivery.
Head of PCCB in Handeni District, Tanga Region, Esta Mulima made the statement during her address at the ethics seminar for civil servants including councilors and heads of departments. She noted that corruption was rampant at district and municipal level, hence the need to fight the vice.
She asserted that there are civil servants in some municipal councils who cannot offer services to the people without asking for a bribe, which is against the public services ethics. She insisted that it is the right of every citizen to get proper services from public offices.
Mulima said: “I have received complaints from female workers as they are being asked for sexual bribery by their supervisors so they can be promoted, get a job transfer or permission to go for further studies”.
She said the second group of people that have been facing troubles in accessing services are those bidding for tenders at municipal councils, since they have been complaining of being forced to offer bribes to municipal directors and heads of departments to be able to win certain announced tenders.
Deputy Secretary of the Ethics Secretariat in the eastern zone who was coordinating the seminar, Getrude Cyriacus said that apart from engaging in corruption, most of them cannot keep the government secrets.
According to Getrude, some servants have been circulating information discussed in high level meetings of the government. She urged councilors to avoid politicizing some issues something which is against their profession.
Handeni District Commissioner, Godwin Gondwe said in his opening remarks that no civil servant is expected to violate his/her work ethics after the seminar since each of the servants especially directors and heads of departments are now aware of their duties.
