but its most deadly impact is always on the
poor.

and corrupt education system

tends to weaken economic development and


perpetuate poverty levels and social
inequalities

on growth and development

threat to foreign investment

suitable or qualified person, but the one who
is ready to pay for it or in any other way
return the favor.
Impact on taxes
 Because of corruption, less taxes are levied
than would otherwise be, as some of the
taxes end up in the pockets of corrupt tax
officials.
