TAKUKURU, in executing its anti-corruption mandate, monitored public resources in 1800 development projects worth 7.7 trillion to detect indicators of corruption and misappropriation of public resources and ensure adherence to the bill of quantity estimates.

Projects monitored included the construction of the Dodoma ring road, development projects implemented through the force account method in Arusha city council, and the construction of the Wamachinga market (Machinga re-settlement open market) along Bahi Road—Dodoma.

Other projects included 12 infrastructure irrigation projects worth 107.4 billion Tanzanian Shillings in Morogoro, Dodoma, Iringa, Tabora, and Mbeya.

TAKUKURU’s monitoring results revealed the presence of corruption. Some projects were found to be unregistered with the contractors’ board registrar, not registered with the Occupational Safety and Health Authority (OSHA), delayed payments to contractors resulting in interest accruals, payments made without completion of work, construction materials not meeting quality standards as per contracts, construction carried out contrary to contract requirements, failure to comply with public procurement laws and regulations, and additional work undertaken without due process.
