The Tanzania Media Women Association (Tamwa) has organised a music concert in Dar es Salaam which will be used to award 10 best anti-corruption singers.
Tamwa Executive Director Ananilea Nkya said yesterday that her organisation would award 10 singers who will compose best anti-corruption songs.
`For the musicians to win the awards, they are supposed to produce songs indicating specific public offices/ sectors where corruption takes place, what form of corruption, how it happens and, if possible, who is involved,` she said in a statement.
She said the aim of the awards was to make musicians do necessary assignments to enable them deliver effective messages that will make the public hate corruption and facilitate exposure of corrupt elements so as to empower responsible organs to take action to end the evil.
The awards to be competed for are hip-hop, Bongo Flava, traditional music, reggae and rap to mention but a few.
Last year, Tamwa organised a similar music competition whereby three musicians were awarded. They are Mwinjuma Muumin, Stara Thomas and King Kiki.
Contrary to last year, in this year`s event Tamwa will award not less than 10 best anti-corruption songs.
Tamwa is campaigning against corruption because it has a negative impact on the rights of people, especially the poor.
