Sexual bribe an economic offence
A HR manager explicitly demanded that I sleep with him before he offered me a job. Is this not a crime in Tanzania? Please guide me.

Demanding or imposing a sexual favour to someone as a condition for him or her to get employment, promotion, right, privilege or any preferential treatment is a corruption offence under section 25 of the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Act [Cap.329 R.E 2019].
Moreover, in 2016, the Parliament through Act No. 3 of 2016 amended the Economic and Organised Crime Control Act [Cap. 200] by adding to its First Schedule corruption offences which now includes a sexual bribe. Being an economic offence, sexual bribes now attract a minimum penalty of 20 years imprisonment.
