Corruption Causes and Cure

Corruption is the evil, and its poison is present in almost every country but the developing countries face more
corruption as compared to developed one, and the main reason behind the more corruption in developing countries is
the black sheep’s present in the government. . Corruption is when a person who is in power exploits its power and
making money for himself/herself. And that corrupt person involves in other illegal projects. The black sheep in the
government are like strong pillars for these evil people because with the help of these people they make illegal money
for their selves. In developing countries corruption has its strong roots because of weak law and order system.

The political elites, which remain in the politics from generation and their aim is to make money rather than
serving the masses is the great cause of corruption. The rulers who want to remain in power no matter at what price is
also the cause of corruption. Increasing population is also the cause of corruption as the government is not able to meet
the demands of the people. Illiteracy is also the cause of corruption. Poverty also leads to corruption. Weak law and
order system is also a helping hand in the way of corruption. Lack of ethics and morals in the life of peoples, tolerance of
people towards corruption. Corruption is like cancer so; it is impossible to survive along with it. It is paramount to
eliminate the corruption from the society for steady growth and development of the country plus, for the good name of
the country also. Ethics and morals should be taught to the children’s at very early age so that, they must know that
what is legal and what is illegal. The law and order system should be foolproof so that people must have trust in judiciary
instead of going to the wrong way. And they have fear too that if they caught they must be punished for the corruption.
Access of all the people to the speedy and inexpensive justice should reduce corruption. Accountability and
transparency in the governmental sector is must. Don’t tolerate corruption.

We all know that we cannot eliminate corruption completely but we can put our efforts to eliminate it at the
extent that it become tolerant. The electoral body must be transparent because corruption took birth from there.
Judiciary system must be clean from corruption. But for all that we all need to join hands together. It is not the duty of
only the government, its duty of our all. So put your efforts, atleast think and accept that corruption is hurdle in the way
of development. Take this initial step and you will want to go till the end of the corruption.
