 Corruption is a true enemy of development
Although there are various institutions that are trying to curb corruption in
Pakistan, yet it is still not easy to control it. Pakistan is geographically
surrounded by unlimited valuable natural resources. The Transparency
International(TI) Corruption Perception Index shows Pakistan as 117th out of
180th most corrupt countries.
In spite of the population of 207 million, it has minimal GDP that ranks at
147th number in the world and is lagging behind in all the fields of life.
Ineffective government bureaucracy together with the high levels of corruption
presents significant barriers to business in Pakistan.
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil  but by those who
watch them without doing anything.
It is responsible for lawlessness, disorder, injustice, turmoil, frustration,
and anarchy. It not only ruins the institutions and the system but also brings
about deteriorating. There are many causes of corruption including political,
social, and economic causes.
Corruption in Pakistan involves all unsuitable and selfish exercise of
power. In Pakistan, corruption has become a way of life and acquired a new
dimension and respect. Many of our civil servants are dismissed by corruption
charges.
 Corruption is like a ball of snow,  once it's set a rolling it must increase
Politically, it depends upon people's awareness, customs, education,
contention, and culture. Every government since the regime of Ayub Khan has
patronized and promoted corruption. At present, corruption has become an art
practiced and patronized by every haughty and mighty in Pakistan.
It is being pursued most dishonorably without any fear and accountability
by the powerful and influential people. Today, unfortunately, the pace of
corruption is promoted by the very leader who claims that his first and foremost
duty is to combat and eradicate it. 
Socially, corruption in Pakistan has eaten away the social structure and
fabric of society. It is widespread and rampant everywhere. It always starts
when opportunity and inclination clash together. This is the main cause of
deteriorating the situation of the country. People of the country have become
morally and socially degraded.
They ignore the values of society and incline towards corruption. The
reason is that they have low income and fewer resources but the dearness is so
high that made the basic necessities of life impossible to get. Along with this,
the competition of status is increasing and people's demands are skyrocketing.
Economically, corruption is affected by the economic environment. If
economic activity is regulated and limited, the officials get more authority and
there are more chances of corruption. To avoid restrictions, they pay or offer
payment to perform their tasks. It is also influenced by monetary policy.
The states with the regulated and disciplined monetary system are less
inclined to corruption. Countries with economic and political freedom are also
less corrupted. Low salaries of government employees take them to corruption
and to improve their economic position.
 There are still those of us who work to overcome corruption  and
believe it to be possible
Countries with high-level corruption are unable to function properly
especially on the economic level. They cause suffering to society. Corruption
affects us deeply and threatens sustainable economic development, moral
values, and justice. It makes society unstable and demoralized.
Corruption in Pakistan destroys all the institutions and values of
democracy. Such action of corruption deprives the citizens of their basic rights.
Corruption eats away the nation's wealth and it leads to uneven distribution of
wealth. 
Small businesses face unfair competition from large organizations that
develop illegal connections with government officials. In corrupt countries,
resources are used inefficiently. The quality education and health care also
deteriorate under such circumstances that lead to low-level standards of living. 
Summing up, to curb corruption in Pakistan is very difficult but can be
controlled if all the organizations and govt institutions work honestly. The
salaries of the employees must be good to meet the necessities of life.
Institutions must be according to the rule of law. Accountability is essential to
curb and control corruption.  

 The worst disease in the world today is corruption. And there is a cure
transparency
