What role for Bunge in shaping the future of Tanzania’s governance?

The oversight committees, especially those chaired by the opposition such as parliamentary Parastatal Organisations’ Accounts Committee (POAC), Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and Local Authorities Accounts Committee (LAAC), were front runners in advancing accountability. Examples like the Richmond electricity power scandal that led to the fall of the government under Prime Minister Lowasa in 2008, the petition to censure Prime Minister Pinda that led to expulsion of 8 ministers in 2012 following a very bad auditor general report on government accounts and the Tegeta Escrow scandal in which $128m were fraudulently withdrawn from central bank are always cited as evidences of parliamentary accountability. Increasingly, sensitive issues of national importance were advanced by cross-party coalitions.
