{UAH} Graft in Tanzania steals from the land, in Uganda from the people - Comment

The election season in Tanzania has burnt out while in Uganda it is just picking up. In both countries, there seems to be a consensus that the time to fight corruption using the ballot is now. 

Usually, the incumbent or the party in power has a hard time telling voters about corruption since the vice tends to be associated with control of state power. 

But the ruling CCM in Tanzania managed to turn this conventional perspective on its head, saying they were cleaning up and the corrupt guys were fleeing the party to take refuge in the opposition. 

The claim was convincing because the CCM presidential candidate was a known no-nonsense operator with a track record of zero tolerance to corruption and laziness.
