As the war on grand corruption continues to intensify, stakeholders are now demanding the political funding Bill, which will set the rules on financing of all political activities in the country.

The Bill which for the first time was hinted by President Kikwete in 2006 could help to reduce the grand corruption pace in the country, according to some analysts interviewed by the Citizen.

Assessing the situation on the ground where most corrupt leaders have been using the ruling party as a 'shield' against any possible prosecution by the state, analysts told The Citizen that the best option was to introduce tight and clear rules on how to fund political campaigns.

For instance some of those who are being accused of corrupt deals maintain that most of the billions stashed away in 2005 were used to fund the political campaign by top officials from the ruling party.

Unproved allegations show that some top CCM leaders used the looted billions from the Central Bank's External Payment Account (EPA) to finance its multi billion-campaign that saw Kikwete getting landslide victory.

The special task force formed by president Kikwete is said to be puzzled by dozens of memos believed to have been written by former top CCM leaders to influence the processing of dubious payments in EPA scandal

According to inside information, majority of EPA suspects surprised the task force investigating the scandal, after claiming that 'they were directed by some top CCM officials in 2005' to mastermind the deal under special agreements.
