Tanzania's anti-corruption watchdog said it intends to employ 322 officers to reinforce the fight against corruption in the country.

Salum Rashid Hamduni, the director general of the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB), said President Samia Suluhu Hassan has authorized the recruitment of the 322 officers.

Speaking shortly after he had inaugurated a PCCB office in the Kiteto district in the Manyara region, Hamduni said the fight against corruption called for participation by all members of the public.

Hamduni added that the fight against corruption should be reinforced because it affected the economic development of the country.
