Corruption

Corruption is the use of money or other benefits to bribe a government  or private official into letting you do something that you would not be otherwise allowed to do. It is a most dishonest policy that is mostly used by powerful people.


One of the reason that corruption occurs is mostly for personal gain. It takes many forms like bribery, extortion and embezzlement there are other forms but these are the most common form.

Only certain groups of people benefit from corruption while the rest suffer. If a person through bribery gets a contract to make a road or bridge he may then overcharge or the construction may not be up to standard in this case the cost is on the public since it's the tax payers funds that have been utilised.

In most cases the offender is not caught even If he gets caught then minimum charges are laided on him. Corruption  takes place only when  dishonest people are in places of power.

There needs to be a standard set for the people in public offices. Not everyone who applies should be accepted there should be a background check done on him. Mostly people that take public offices are honest but they become corrupt if they have seniors that are corrupt and tell them to do so to avoid their own termination.

Corruption is a practise that makes the general populace suffer both financially and mentally. Due to the stress that comes from not be able to get their jobs done without warming certain hands.

The corrupt are so deep into it they don't feel like doing any work unless they are paid extra. This is a practise that has been embedded deep into people mind and it's a pattern that is very difficult to break off.
