Quote

The worst affected from corruption is the common man.

Corruption is a cancer: a cancer that eats away at a citizen's faith in democracy, diminishes the instinct for innovation and creativity; already-tight national budgets, crowding out important national investments. It wastes the talent of entire generations. It scares away investments and jobs.

Corruption is the enemy of development, and of good governance. It must be got rid of. Both the government and the people at large must come together to achieve this national objective.

Corruption is something you face all the time. Avoid it.

The first sign of corruption in a society that is still alive is that the end justifies the means.

Corruption is a true enemy to development.

Corruption exists everywhere.

Corruption has reached an unacceptable level. It devours resources that could be devoted to the citizens. It impedes the proper carrying out of market rules and penalizes the honest and capable.

I see corruption as a mortal enemy for young democracies.
