Agenda/Topics To Be Covered
5. The simplest definition is:
๏ถCorruption is the misuse of public power (by elected politician Or
appointed civil servant) for private gain.
or
๏ถCorruption is an improbity or decay in the decision-making process in
which a decision-maker consents to deviate or demands deviation from the
criterion which should rule his or her decision-making, in exchange for a
reward or for the promise or expectation of a reward, while these motives
influencing his or her decision-making cannot be part of the justification of the
decision.
6. There are four type of corruption.
Petty
Corruption
Grand
corruption
Systematic
corruption
Political
corruption
7. Petty corruption occurs at a smaller scale and within
established social frameworks and governing norms. Examples
include the exchange of small improper gifts or use of
personal connections to obtain favours. This form of
corruption is particularly common in developing countries and
where public servants are significantly underpaid.
8. Grand corruption is defined as corruption occurring at the highest levels of
government in a way that requires significant subversion of the political,
legal and economic systems. Such corruption is commonly found in
countries with authoritarian or dictatorial governments but also in those
without adequate policing of corruption.
9. Systemic corruption (or endemic corruption) is corruption
which is primarily due to the weaknesses of an
organization or process. It can be contrasted with
individual officials or agents who act corruptly within the
system.
Factors which encourage systemic corruption include
๏ฑ CONFLICTING INCENTIVES,
๏ฑ DISCRETIONARY POWERS,
๏ฑ MONOPOLISTIC POWERS,
๏ฑ LACK OF TRANSPRACY,
๏ฑ LOW PAY,
๏ฑ CULTURE OF IMPUNITY.
10. Political corruption is the abuse of
public power, office, or resources by
elected government officials for
personal gain, e.g. by extortion,
soliciting or offering bribes . It can also
take the form of office holders
maintaining themselves in office by
purchasing votes by enacting laws
which use taxpayers' money. Evidence
suggests that corruption can have
political consequences- with citizens
being asked for bribes becoming less
likely to identify with their country or
region.
12. Bribery is the improper use of gifts and favors in exchange
for personal gain. This is also known as kickbacks or, in the
Middle East, baksheesh . It is the most common form of
corruption. The types of favors given are diverse and include
money, gifts, sexual favors, company shares, entertainment,
employment and political benefits. The personal gain that is
given can be anything from actively giving preferential
treatment to having an indiscretion or crime
overlooked.[Bribery can sometimes be part of the systemic
use of corruption for other ends, for example to perpetrate
further corruption. Bribery can make officials more
susceptible to blackmail or extortion.
13. THEFT involve someone with access to funds or
assets illegally taking control of them.
FRAUD involves using deception to convince the
owner of funds or assets to give them up to an
unauthorized party.
Some officials steal state assets under their
jurisdiction or made accessible to them as a function
of their positions in government. Acquiring publicly
owned assets through illegal transactions and fraud
constitutes the most extensive form of such
corruption.
14. While bribery is the use of positive inducements for
corrupt aims, extortion and blackmail centre
around the use of threats. This can be the threat of
violence or false imprisonment as well as exposure
of an individual's secrets or prior crimes.
This includes such behavior as an influential
person threatening to go to the media if they do
not receive speedy medical treatment (at the
expense of other patients), threatening a public
official with exposure of their secrets if they do not
vote in a particular manner, or demanding money
in exchange for continued secrecy.
