Between April and September 2026, the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) in Shinyanga Region recovered TZS 236 million through revenue collection controls and monitoring the use of funds allocated for development projects.

Shinyanga Regional Deputy PCCB Head, Mwamba Massanja, said TZS 75.5 million was recovered through monitoring electronic revenue collection at Old Shinyanga auction market in Shinyanga Municipality, where the funds had not been deposited into the bank.

He added that TZS 47,877,360 was recovered following the monitoring of funds allocated for cotton purchases during the 2025/2026 season in Kishapu District. Companies had transferred money to Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Societies (AMCOS) to purchase cotton from farmers, but there were payment irregularities. Following the intervention, the farmers were paid.
