Corruption at any level of society is dishonourable and unlawful. It is a symptom of a deep problem in society that can cause many conflicts which indirectly affect the economy, investment, enforcement, the legal process, and even ethnic division. It results in poor civic consciousness among the people that will in due course debase the whole society.
Unfortunately, there are politicians and officials who still consider corruption an acceptable way of life. Insatiability has blinded them when it comes to money and wealth.
Corruption is now perceived to be strappingly rooted in the nation’s culture. A very senior politician was once quoted as saying, “Corruption is a form of lubricant. It helps work get done faster.”
