Corruption: Its nature, causes and effects suggestions on the way forward
Article Abstract:
Corruption is more prevalent in areas where the state interacts with the public, like the police, granting of permits and judiciary and the opaque nature of corruption makes objective assessment difficult. It is high in poor countries and in countries where democracy is weak or non-existent, which can be combated by a democratic and transparent decision-making involving participation and involvement of civil society and encouragement of a free and vibrant media.
