CONCLUSIONS
Corruption has a pernicious effect, often devastating on
administrative performance and economic and political
development as seen in the cases mentioned.
Corruption is inherent in systems built on poverty, therefore
the state must assign the resoruces it controls, but when this
state is poor, it prioritizes in such assignment personal criteria,
supporters and so on.
Corruption can be reduced if there are several offices that
have the same competence, since who need those licenses
can go tyo other officials in the event that the first one refuses
their request.
Nowadays, society has become an accomplice to corruption,
so we must be aware of our smallest acts and improve as
citiziens to reduce corruption in our country little by little.
