EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION
Corruption violated the rights and freedoms of individual persons to get their basic services from
public and private offices. This means that this practice compromises the quality of services
offered by employees in the public and private sectors and puts the lives of citizens at risk.
Corrupt officials do not offer equal services to clients because they treat some with more
interests than others. This violates the provisions of equality and the rights for justice in various
issues. This makes public institutions and offices to become illegitimate because of misusing
their democratic power for private gains.
Also, corruption obstructs the effective development of political systems in a country. This
corruption promotes investment that is serious threats to democratic processes. Most corrupt
countries experience the civil disobedience and political instability that hamper development
projects. The introduction of multiparty democratic systems is usually hampered by the
corruption that compromises the legitimacy of political parties and individuals. Civil
disobedience and lack of trust in political institutions propel individuals to protest and demand
the removal of their leaders from power.

CONTROL OF CORRUPTION
There are many ways to control corruption among them few are given below:-
1. Corruption is not only about bribes : People especially the poor get hurt when
resources are wasted. That’s why it is so important to understand the different kinds of
corruption to develop smart responses.  
2. Power of the people: Create a pathways that give citizens relevant the tools to engage
and participate in their governments activities to identify priorities, problems and find
solutions.
3. Cut the red tape: Bring together formal and informal processes which means working
with the government as well as non-governmental groups to change behavior and monitor
progress.
4. It’s not an old centuries or decades: Use the power of technology to build dynamic and
continuous to exchanges between key stakeholders like government, citizens, business,
civil society groups, media, academia etc.

 5. Deliver the goods: Investing in the institutions and policy for sustainable improvement
in how a government delivers services is only possible if the people in these institutions
recommend sensible rules and practices that allow for change while making the best use
of tested traditions and legacies – imported models often do not work.
6. Get motivations right: Align with the anticorruption measures with market, behavioral,
and social forces. Adopting honesty standards is a smart business decision, especially for
companies interested in doing business with the World Bank Group and other
development partners.
7. Sanctions matter: Punishing corruption is a vital component of any effective
anticorruption effort.
8. Act globally and locally: Keep citizens engaged on corruption at local, national,
international and global levels in a line with the scale and scope of corruption. Make use
of the architecture that has been developed and the platforms that exist for engagement.
9. Build capacity for those who need it most: Countries that have suffer from enduring
brittleness, conflict and violence are often the ones that have the fewest internal resources
to combat corruption. Identify ways to leverage international resources to support and
sustain good governance.
10. Learn by doing: Any good strategy must be continually monitored and evaluated to
make sure it can be easily adapted as situations on the ground change.

CONCLUSION
Corruption is caused by human factors like capitalism, lack of transparency and accountability,
preferences, tribalism, poverty, weak social and political structures, and poverty. This corruption
lowers the pace of national development, weakens societies, and increases poverty. Therefore,
people should work hard to ensure their fight of corruption by educating their members on the
importance of transparent performs. Also, government systems should be programmed to detect
and eliminate this corruption, and those found promoting it should face harsh penalties.
