 What is corruption?
• One type of dishonest behaviour that greatly
affects everyone is corruption. It happens when
a trusted organisation misuses its authority for
their own benefit. There are many different
types of corruption, such as bribery, dishonesty,
and fraud committed by people, companies, or
governments.
• There are many ways under which someone
may be seen as corrupt. Remember that
corruption may affect any kind of entity,
whether it an individual, business, or nation.
 Types of Corruption

• Petty Corruption: (Impact on low level small

area)
• Bribes given to law enforcement officers,
customs officers, healthcare providers, and
other government officials are examples of
petty corruption.
• State Corruption: Impact on whole nation
• Laws and legal measures related to
political corruption It comes in two
varieties. The first INVOLVES both
extraction and accumulation, with the
government formally abusing its power to
extract resources from the private sector,
the economy, and government income.
SECTORS AFFECTED BY
CORRUPTION:

The corrupt behaviours on economic development and

progress in these important areas:
1. Judiciary and legal profession
2. Police and law enforcement
3. Extractive industries
4. Health
5. Education.
Corruption in Pakistan is widespread, and extends to every sector from
government to judiciary, police, health services, education, and military.
1. Judiciary and legal profession
The misuse of the limited public money that most
governments are willing to give to justice—which
is rarely a top political priority—is a form of
judicial corruption.
The legal system is incredibly slow, improper
regulations are broken, and wrong individuals
make money from the legal system.
Well in Pakistan the corruption where court system
is really slow many people come there but they get
justice in five to six years instead of one year.
2. Police and law enforcement

Police corruption is the abuse of power for

one's own benefit. Examples this include
Pakistan where bribery (accepting money in
return for not enforcing the law) and
extortion (demanding money for not paying
traffic fines, for example) is more common.
The costs of police corruption are huge. A
corrupt act is, first of foremost, illegal.
3. Extractive industries

Extractive industry corruption has been

linked with avoidance of taxes and black
markets, which cause nations to lose
billions of dollars in annual illicit
financial flows. Mineral smuggling, for
example, has cost government revenue
and, in certain situations, resulted in
violence.
 4. Health

The commercial interests of dishonest pharmaceutical

companies, who find it expensive to follow the laws
controlling drug licences, recognition, and approvals, have
the source of corruption in this industry. These companies
attempt to bribe and influence regulators to get their
products registered and expedite the approval process.
The challenges faced by Pakistan's healthcare system
include insufficient funding, inadequate healthcare
workforce and infrastructure, less focus on preventive
health, and inequitable distribution of resources.
5. Education
Corruption in education has taken several forms:
bribes paid by parents to teachers to ensure good
grades and examination results; bribes paid by
teachers to public officials to get preferred posting and
promotion; profiling of children based on parental
educational qualifications, financial standing or social
standing .
One of the most glaring issues in Pakistan's education
system is the lack of adequate infrastructure and
facilities in many regions. This impedes students'
access to quality education. In rural areas, many
schools lack proper buildings, electricity, and clean
drinking water.
Problems facing faced by Pakistan due to corruption:
Corruption in Pakistan has led to several significant problems, including:

1. Economic Impact: Corruption hampers economic growth by diverting resources away from essential
public services and infrastructure projects. Funds intended for development often end up in the wrong hands,
hindering economic progress.

2. Weak Government: In Pakistan corruption affects public by weaken the government confidence in
government organisations, resulting in a lack of effective governance. This may lead to inefficient policies, a
lack of accountability, and a failure to meet the population's requirements.

3. Impaired Justice System: Corruption may damage the judiciary, making judicial proceedings less fair and
impartial. The rule of law and public trust in the legal system are weakened by this. In Pakistan no problem
justice system is been flowed. Rich people have more power more favours than poor people.
4. Infrastructure Deficiencies: Funds allocated for infrastructure projects may be
embezzled, causing delays and substandard construction. This not only impedes
development but also poses risks to public safety. In Pakistan no proper infrastructure, no
proper roads , buildings etc.

5. Energy crisis: Pakistan's energy infrastructure is regarded as being underdeveloped and

badly managed rather than being highly developed. The nation is in a severe energy crisis.

6. Unemployment: A large number of highly qualified engineers, doctors, and graduates

lack appropriate jobs. Although Pakistanis are thought to be talented, their homeland has no
worth, which is why many used to leave to work outside the country.
How to overcome Corruption:

•Increment in salaries.
•Anti corruption organisations.
•Awareness through Media and Networking sites.
•Strong Implementation.
•Vigorous Punishments.
