Abstract

There are many roads to the goal of preventing and combating corruption. One of these roads is to prevent and combat corruption through religious obligations. This paper presents a proposition that religious ethics have great influence in the process of combating corruption. Various literatures were consulted including religious books and previous studies. Although Tanzania is a non-secular country but its population is predominantly Muslims and Christians. The Muslims are 35%, Christians are 30% and other religions are 35%. With these statistics it is unlikely to discuss dynamics and cross cutting issues such as corruption with exclusion of religious obligations.
