Africa Deploys Blockchain Tech in a Struggle to End Coffee Corruption & Ghost Workers

The president of Tanzania, East Africa, John Pombe Magufuli is one of the world leaders trying to fight corruption from all government institutions. The Tanzanian government is optimistic that blockchain will uproot corruption starting with sorting out the problem of ghost workers from all public sectors. The ghost workers take out around $195.4 million in form of salaries. Tanzania is not in a fight alone, other countries such as Uganda, South Africa, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana and other African nations are resorting to blockchain technology to fight financial crimes.

This is the joke of the year

Africa = Corruption

the African does not fight to end corruption, let's be honest here, I'm African and I like bitcoin and blockchain but let's not be naive, African governments together with their political parties are very corrupt and they will not stop being corrupt. at least for the next 50 years we will still see Africans as the greatest corrupt in human history. I speak with all sincerity and I am being honest. Africans do not want to use more advanced technologies both in the control of finances and in the elections because they are corrupt governments and China supports the corruption of Africans

Yes, yes, yes...Corrupted people want to fight corruption (to be able to be more corrupted themselves) If coffee producers actually want to end corruption in the market they just need to eliminate the middleman, nothing more, From a political point of view it's different.
Ghost workers are usually children working to help their parents to feed the family. It's the only income for some. It's something known in these countries and the govts. are perfectly aware, they never did something because it works like this for decades,.

I live in a country where corruption is almost everywhere and on very high levels too. What I've learned is that the very people who say they are fighting corruption in most cases are corrupted to the bone themselves, so I don't believe in good intentions of the high-level officials cited in the article. Most likely they think they will find a way to do their bad deeds anyway. Btw, do the problem of ghost workers is really the biggest one in Tanzania regarding corruption? Hardly.

But I think that blockchain technology will indeed help to fight corruption throughout the globe. They just don't know what kind of fire they are playing with.

As much as we wanted and happy to see governments adopting Blockchain as means to so called "end corruption", I don't think it will be enough to really put a stop on it. I also lived in a country wherein its becoming a political norm, and even if our current President is really doing its best effort to curb corruption, its going to be very difficult and I don't think that even Blockchain technology, with all of its transparency will help government officials not to pocket under the table money. It will help, but just a small portion though, and not totally eradicate it.
