Corruption Mocking at Justice

This work will generate needed discussion and subsequent action against corruption and injustice. I commend Dr Sebahene for an excellent piece on two interlinked critical contemporary social and spiritual issues and recommend his work to anyone desiring to contribute to the war against corruption and injustice.

Not only a necessary and timeous study, but a work that can serve the discourse on corruption and the role of churches across Africa well.

Dr Sebahene explains in some detail how corruption is manifested, and outlines its devastating effects on the people of Tanzania. This book will also be of value to members of other countries, especially in Africa, who wish to understand why corruption has increased and what can be done to oppose this personal temptation and social scourge.
