Corruption issues
Corruption is both a major cause and a result of poverty
around the world. It occurs at all levels of society, from local and national
governments, civil society, judiciary functions, large and small businesses,
military and other services and so on.
Corruption affects the poorest the most, in rich or poor
nations, though all elements of society are affected in some way as corruption
undermines political development, democracy, economic development, the
environment, people’s health and more.
Around the world, the perception of
corruption in public places is very high: but it isn’t just in governments that corruption is found; it can
permeate through society.
The issue of corruption is very much inter-related with
other issues. At a global level, the “international” economic system that has
shaped the current form of globalization in the past decades requires further
scrutiny for it has also created conditions whereby corruption can flourish and
makes the conditions of people around the world who already have little say
about their own destiny. At a national level, people’s effective participation
and representation in society can be undermined by corruption, while at local
levels, corruption can make day to day lives more painful for all affected.
To some extent, corruption had been declared national
disaster more so in developing countries. I’m worried most when I continue to
hear such references from people yet we can curb it.
The following ways may assist
in reducing corruption level in a society:
Developing and
implementing clear policies which are relevant to corruption reduction. These policies
should be clearly written in a language which is understandable and can be
enforced.
corruption is a disease that kills.
