Corruption is one of most chronic issues all over world especially in the third world
countries like Pakistan where it has routed down in government institutions enough that
cannot be eliminated easily following the stakes of powerful bureaucrats and corrupt
politicians.
We can find two vast concerns or issues in present Pakistan that are expanding like
epidemics(corruption and terrorism) which have reinforced their germs in every cells of
our society.
First, the justice system must be powerful enough to not only award rigorous punishment to
those who are involved in different types of corruption, but should also make sure that its
judgments are implemented. Countries where corruption is either at a very low level or is
almost non-existent, justice system plays a vital role in providing justice to people without
any bribe or nepotism.
Second, along with the justice system, government and its organs must be above corruption
or corrupt practices. That can only happen when those who are part of the government,
whether at the lower, middle or higher level must be paid well and rewarded of their efficient
and honest work. Corruption has permeated in Pakistani society because of bad
governance and lack of accountability; When the rule of law is not compromised and the
economic conditions of people, particularly those in police, taxation department and
revenue are better, corruption can certainly be con-trolled.
Third, eradication of the causes which promote and deepen corruption. Poverty, lack of
better education, acceptance of corruption in society and the role of mafias who have not
only official patronage but also get a free hand to loot and plunder national wealth.
In order to take effective measures at the state and societal level against corruption, it is
imperative that younger generation should be properly educated and mobilized to reduce
corruption. Particularly, at the school level there is a need to introduce topics in syllabi
which can “induct proper awareness on the menace of corruption. Institutional measures
must be taken in various educational institutions of Pakistan by creating small anti-
corruption study groups in order to provide training and expertise to eradicate corruption.
Yet, the question is when corruption is so deep rooted in Pakistan and’ all state institutions
are one way or the other involved in corruption, how can one expect any change as far a
reducing the level of corruption is concerned? Whatever may be the reasons for the
deepening of corruption in Pakistan it is rightly believed that corruption has become a way
of life and this disease cannot be cured with a simple operation. Without a firm policy, which
is above contradictions and followed across the board, there is no way one can seek any
breakthrough in saving Pakistan from the lethal implications of corruption.
Unless those people who are an integral part of corrupt practices are removed from
positions of power and punished, there is no way corruption can be controlled. By taking
cosmetic measures corruption will increase and not go down. Corruption has not only
become a way of life but has obtained some sort of legitimacy. From any standpoint, a
corrupt society cannot be healthy and developed.
