Battling Corruption – a Need to Save Numerous Lives!
by Well these are my opinions on how corruption in government affects us all.
What can we do to fight against corruption?
Corruption has been defined by the Transparency International (TI) as “the misuse of entrusted power for private gain”. The Transparency International is an organization, set up in 1993, which has been set up to prevent the different resultants of corruption as it affects many lives around the world.
Corruption affects the lives of people in many different ways which can impair them in cases of health, mental status, and physical status and in the worst cases; the people can lose their lives. For example, we can take the recent attacks caused by terrorists in Mumbai where the prime locations were CST station, Cama hospital, Taj and Oberoi-Trident Hotel. In this attack the police officers were firstly called to prevent this disaster and there were many casualties. It is believed that because of corruption and carelessness of the politicians, the police officers were provided with defective bullet proof jackets which caused them to lose their lives while facing the terrorists.
To combat terrorism lots of steps have to be followed. One of the major points can be to educate people which will cause the students to become less susceptible to bribes and other actions which lead to corruption in the future. Education will also lead to right people being selected as politicians who would be attentive to detail and actually care about what is happening in the country. I hope the citizens of different countries follow this.
