Abstract:
Background: This paper reports the findings of the study that was carried out to determine evolution of government machinery is a multifaceted process influenced by factors such as ethics, good governance, and the presence of corruption. This study explores the experiences and lessons learned from the Armed Forces Unit in the United Republic of Tanzania, employing a multicriteria approach to understand the complex dynamics of government evolution. Material and Methods: The Machinery of Government and good governance are the exercise of power for the benefit of the public. In a society where good governance is observed, there is minimum corruption and public officers have ethical codes, which they observe. The fact that we have rampant corruption in our society is a testimony that there are ethical problems as well. Corruption has become pervasive in the Tanzanian society. Result and Conclusion: The changes in our socio-economic system have meant new ethical problems in Tanzania and brought challenges to those who are supposed to enforce ethical standards in society. The Third Phase government has embarked on a course to fight against corruption systematically and scientifically. Corruption is a problem of poor governance and strategies to address corruption should be broader as to address the whole problem of governance. To this effect, policies and strategies have been formulated to fight corruption, including, changes in the political economy, enacting laws, and amendment of others.
