MINISTER for Information, Culture, Arts and Sports, Professor Palamagamba Kabudi, has commended President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s philosophy of reconciliation, resilience, reform, and reconstruction, saying it has played a key role in restoring dignity and respect among Tanzanians.

Speaking during the commemoration of African Anti-Corruption Day, Prof. Kabudi described the president’s approach as a powerful catalyst for protecting human dignity, inspiring social reform, and strengthening the moral fabric of the nation.

“This philosophy has united Tanzanians across political and religious lines,” he said. “It has fostered mutual respect, understanding, and tolerance—thereby significantly reducing the space for corruption.”

He underscored the importance of adopting the philosophy in everyday life, describing it as essential for nurturing a patriotic and morally grounded society.

“If we all live by these values, we stand a real chance of building a corruption-free Tanzania and deepening patriotism at every level,” he added.

With the general election approaching, Prof. Kabudi urged citizens to uphold the president’s values, calling them the true foundation of nationalism and patriotism.

He also reminded leaders, youth, and the general public that success is earned through integrity and hard work—not shortcuts.

“Success is a gradual process. We must not trade our integrity for bribes,” he cautioned. “Corruption is like a pregnancy—it begins unnoticed but eventually becomes visible. When it does, it erodes your dignity and that of others. Corruption is our common enemy, and we must reject it.”
