In the world we live in today it is believed that money is the root of all evil because bribery and corruption continue to grow and occupy a dominant position in our country as well as in our press. According to the website: ethicsmonitor.co.za, " This ranges from apparently petty bribes to traffic officials to significant amounts paid as "commissions" for securing tenders. While the amount may differ - whether R100 or R1 million - the nature of the action is not different. It all amounts to bribery and corruption."
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO COMBAT CORRUPTION?
In order for us as the nation to begin the fight against corruption , our government certainly has a role to fulfil in this regard. In August 2011, the deputy president Kgalema Motlante addressed the nation at the Wits University acknowledging that after Aparthied, the second biggest problem South Africa has faced is corruption. Saying and doing the right things should certainly go hand in hand because if high profile individuals in parliament are slow to act on this fast growing problem, it raises the criticism that there is a lack of political will to do something about corruption and bribery.However, it is not only the government's responsibility to act upon this ever growing problem. We, too, have to act.
I plan to take a stand against corruption by making myself heard through my blog because it is up to us to act now....how do you plan to act against corruption?
When you said "In order for us as the nation to begin the fight against corruption , our government certainly has a role to fulfil in this regard"this is clear and to the point.who has ears has heard and i hope the government will take note on this regard.
ReplyDeleteyes, i hope so too because the government has to set an example we can all follow.
