Corruption is one of the deadly demolition shovels that attacks the whole world and stop the development train. However, there is a slight variation in intensity. Where corruption is rampant in the poorer countries, it’s gradually reduced in rich and countries. It spreads like a cancer, not only on the official scale, but it goes beyond that to reach singles accompanied with imbalance in the general values and principles. Here is possible to say that corruption has become a culture and acquired a deadly epidemic is difficult to face.
Speaking about corruption, that necessarily means lack of control governs, poor management, system failure..etc. That’s undoubtedly leads to waste of public money, series of economic crisis, country vanishing..etc. In poor countries, that’s what exactly, happening, in the absence of law and control, nothing there but random and chaos. When a person access to responsibility, that means to become a millionaire overnight. The most shaking is that responsible should stay in that position endlessly. In those countries, regrettably, all that government corruption happen under a cover named ” Anti- Corruption Commission “. Usually, this commission sees these irregularities, but for the purpose of extortion, gain but not for the purpose of censorship.
When corruption attacks the government, which is the back bone of any country, then it can spread everywhere to reach infrastructure works, judgment, even education which act as the seed to build reliable generations. What make things even worse is the spread of mediation in a large scale in our poor countries. That enables unsuitable persons to ride sensitive positions, which reduces government performance. This means obviously that our problem is political.
International Bank and the International Monetary Fund, look to corruption as a major obstacle to development. That’s why our third world countries are still far away from the train of development station. Those people pay high costs due to government corruption. What enhances worsening corruption, the absence of the values of transparency, integrity and distance for activating the recycling law career and apply the principles of good governance. The main effective process is the fight against corruption, the dismissal and hold leaders accountable institutions, government bodies involved in corruption cases and book their money at home and abroad. Just in this point, we can say that the setup item come into practice as long as the self-discipline missed.
Twenty years ago, no one looks at the societal risks resulting from corruption. What’s done good by TI is the big role play of articulating in the provision of the Charter of the United Nations Convention against Corruption and the Convention of the Organization for Economic Cooperation of Development (OECD) against bribery. What really distinguishes TI is that it brings people in a strong global gathering to defeat corruption and the creation of a world without corruption. In spite of difficulties, the TI adopts anti- corruption efforts of self- independent.
In any case, the situation is most urgent and in need for cooperation between concerned organization and people, especially youth who are eager to change and full of life. There must be a role for them in the anti-corruption agencies of the government and create a social awareness among people about the disaster of corruption and even to enable them to share in its encounter. The youth must act as a control for administrative corruption by pressing to bring to life the law of career recycling. To be brief, all mentioned above are really to put an end for this cancer and bring back hope to the world to stop economic crisis winds, for nothing is impossible!
