The education system must be revised and improved.
WAH CANTT: Our society is facing a very grave problem of corruption that has threatened the basic foundations of civilisation. The major reasons for the fast creeping corruption are political instability, poverty, highly unequal structure of society, unemployment, lack of accountability, weak political institutions and absence of the rule of law. It undermines democracy, hinders good governance and weakens democratic institutions. It hampers economic growth and sustainable development.
In order to curb this menace, Institutions should be made stronger to strengthen the democratic system as a whole. A proper system of accountability and checks and balances should be implemented. Justice delayed is justice denied. In time, justice can minimise corruption. Salaries and wages should be increased. The education system must be revised and improved. Moreover, proper planning and strictly implemented policies with public support can put a halt to this growing menace.
