Corruption has been one of the major diseases facing some countries in this 21st Century. Many believe corrupt men are not worthy to be a living, they should be sentenced for life imprisonment. Some people have of the opinions that the punishment should be death by hanging because they have done more harm than good in the society.
Corruption is one of the biggest threats to the well-being of any
society. It is also as cancer that damages the whole system of a country.
Corruption degrades the quality of the assistance and also ruins living of the
common man. Many countries in the world are afflicted by this problem called
corruption.
Political functions who promised to stop and take steps to
eradicate corruption have being voted for power. This kind of shows the
significance of corruption free society and government.
Unlike like developed countries, corruption is at high rate in
less-developed countries particularly Nigeria. The causes of data corruption in
Nigeria are many and quite complex that the promises of the political parties
to eradicate problem aren't easy.
Corruption is generally seen in occasions like jobs, businesses,
special offers, election campaigns, sports and many others. Below is the list of
Main Reasons for Corruption
1. Low Pay
scales/ Wages: Most of the
employees in government sector are paid low salary and salaries. Hence some
employees revert to data corruption to get more financial benefits.
Low Job opportunities.
This kind of is another cause of corruption. Due to deficiency of
job opportunities at will, there are many people who like to visit for
corruption mode to get the job offer. They are ready to pay large some amounts
for the job offer to the higher officials or political figures.
Lack of Stringent and fast punishments:
Whether or not someone is found guilty ridden or even caught
red-handed by the anti-corruption administrators or media, the convicts get
less punishment. Initial they shall be suspended for few months or weeks and
then re-posted to another location with same Work grade and pay. And so this
means the recognized who did the tainted practice is given a free of charge
license to continue his practice.
If the authorities is so strict that any such corrupt situations
will lead to long lasting removal from job and also punishment like several
years imprisonment then the corruption will come down to a huge extent.
Lack of ill celebrity:
If a person is found to be infected or has done some unacceptable
misconduct, he or she must be avoided and not be respected. However in India
those with data corruption and other offense related history are given dominant
positions like the customer of parliament or even higher posts. Rather than
being disrespected they are respected.
Lack of Unity in public places:
Public publicly criticize corruption but oddly enough there is no
oneness among the public to stop corruption. If a person wants to get his done
his work, he gets it done by corruption means if at all possible and then later
criticizes the corrupt official. In the event that the public stands against
corruption in such a way that no-one is ready to offer portion to get their
work done then the dodgy officials will have no other option but to work in
corruption free manner.
During election, political figures try to lure the people by
providing money and other things. In the event these politicians win and get
power, they make an effort to restore 10 to 100 times the amount spent because
of their elections.
Lack of transparency in affairs and deals:
Many seat selection processes like in education, contracts for
job, worker income reports (wealth possession), etc lack transparency. Intended
for this purpose, there is a new act particularly RTI: directly to information,
but the act is not strong enough to prevent malpractices.
Absence of Independent private attention:
Nigeria as a country has no individual private eye which can
investigate with full ability and freedom to uncover the corrupt individuals.
The existing agencies like Central Bureau of investigation are named by the
greatest court of Indian legislative system as a bird signifies how frees these
investigating agencies to work. Hence, anyone who commits offense will not be
afraid of the investigation as they can escape from it through help of judgment
political party.
Choice of many political parties:
It is clearly known that in Nigeria anyone can form a political
party. Thus there are many political parties in India. If the political party
wins, then the members in it will desire to grow the party to all over the
country. To do so, they want enough financial reserves. Just for this, once
they come into electric power, they opt for dodgy methods to make the riches
needed to expand the party.
Insufficient enough powers to the legislative system and other
impartial organization.
Like the selection commission cannot ban a politician from
contesting in the event that they make a blunder or do not conform with the
rules during election campaign (like releasing money to people etc). Similarly,
the judicial system has low options to punish someone who is found to be
Insufficient accountability:
In authorities there may be a major trend of corruption. This is
because of lack of responsibility. The employee's on authorities’ offices do
not perform to their par superiority. If they receive 90 files to be cleaned in
a week they might not exactly even clear 60 of them in this week. They tend to
post-pone the clearance of the files. So those who are in urgency of the
clearance have to get them done by rewarding the officials engaged in the
clearance office. This lack of responsibility in government offices is chief
cause of file corruption error.
Encouragement of bad competition:
Competition in business is a good signal for quality of service to
be delivered. Nevertheless in Nigeria there is encouragement of unhealthy
competition.
When there is a tender, you can notice that only few companies bid
for it. This kind of is because the firms having political relations have
higher chances of winning and some do not. So, companies with no political
affect are not going to bid for the tender in-spite of being a good company.
That is here the amount of buyers for a tender will be low due to political
interference.
These reasons for corruption have to be eliminated for better
progress of the nation.
Taking Nigeria as an
example, this country would have flourished and be better than its current
position but as a result bad, wicked and corrupt leaders we have been having,
this great nation endowed and blessed with resources in still an
under-under-developed country.
Being a youth of
our country, what do you think about this topic...
Can we wipe out
corruption and bribery? If yes, then how?
Yes we the one . . Who can eradicate this issues ✊✊
