They suggest ways to make them more like us. c. Book News Inc.

How has corruption shaped – and undermined – the history of public life in modern Britain? This collection begins the task of piecing together this history over the past two and a half centuries, from the first assaults on Old Corruption and aristocratic privilege during the late eighteenth century through to the corruption scandals that blighted the worlds of Westminster and municipal government during the twentieth century. It offers the first account that pays equal attention to the successes and limitations of anticorruption reforms and the shifting meanings of ‘corruption’. It does so across a range of different sites – electoral, political and administrative, domestic and colonial – presenting new research on neglected areas of reform, while revisiting well known scandals and corrupt practices.

A frontline account of how to fight corruption, from Nigeria's former finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. In Fighting Corruption Is Dangerous, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has written a primer for those working to root out corruption and disrupt vested interests. Drawing on her experience as Nigeria's finance minister and that of her team, she describes dangers, pitfalls, and successes in fighting corruption. She provides practical lessons learned and tells how anti-corruption advocates need to equip themselves. Okonjo-Iweala details the numerous ways in which corruption can divert resources away from development, rewarding the unscrupulous and depriving poor people of services. Okonjo-Iweala discovered just how dangerous fighting corruption could be when her 83-year-old mother was kidnapped in 2012 by forces who objected to some of the government's efforts at reforms led by Okonjo-Iweala—in particular a crackdown on fraudulent claims for oil subsidy payments, a huge drain on the country's finances. The kidnappers' first demand was that Okonjo-Iweala resign from her position on live television and leave the country. Okonjo-Iweala did not resign, her mother escaped, and the program of economic reforms continued. “Telling my story is risky,” Okonjo-Iweala writes. “But not telling it is also dangerous.” Her book ultimately leaves us with hope, showing that victories are possible in the fight against corruption.

Corruption, as a social science, has been mystified and even ignored for many generations. Not many people would like to talk about this subject, openly and transparently. Now, it is becoming a subject of great concern, not only in the developing nations but also in the developed world. The subject has impacted so negatively in our social, economic and political life, that we can no longer keep quiet about it. Corruption is eroding the moral values of many nations and consigning many people to perpetual poverty and deprivation. To me this is a subject that is becoming more important and critical than even civics and geography in schools. It is a subject that touches and affects the morality of nations. I have a passionate concern, that, if we in Africa want to make Africa a better place to live in, then we must address this subject with the seriousness it deserves. Like any other social science, this subject should be introduced in our schools, and colleges, so that our young people, could be made acutely aware of the evils of this vice, and how it could be eradicated from our society. If this is done, our future generations will live in a much better society than we are today. There should also be programmes in place, organized by the civil society, and other agencies to educate the masses about the consequences of corruption in society. I do, however, appreciate that without available materials, my propositions could not be feasible. This book therefore, is intended to form a good source of Civic Education Material into Corruption in Africa and more specifically, in Kenya. The book has been written with those educational objectives, specifically in mind. It is the intention of this book to show that corruption poses a serious challenge in terms of the economic, political and social development in the AfricanContinent. Corruption undermines democratic institutions and good governance in the political landscape. It reduces accountability and negates representation and policymaking in the electoral process. It abrogates the rule of law in the judiciary. Corruption also encourages nepotism resulting into unequal provision of resources to the population in the public sector. The book further endeavours to show, that corruption undermines the legitimacy of government, and such democratic values as human rights, respect for therule of law, trust and tolerance. Corruption also does undermine economic development by advancing narrow and selfish economic policies and incompetence, in the delivery of services to the people. This book seeks to analyze, how corruption in public institutions, has squandered the national wealth, and impoverished the people. There is also a critical analysis on bureaucratic corruption, and how the public officers achieve their objectives, by diverting public investment away from social and people friendly projects, such as poverty reduction, education, health and housing, into capital projects, simply to attract bribes for individual benefits. The book examines institutional corruption in various departments of government, including the Police, Judiciary, Public Works, Immigration, Revenue Authority, Lands, Local Government and many other public institutions. The book also examines corruption in the public and private sectors, including public corporations, political banks, educational institutions and how the general public, have also contributed to the vice. The book further, examines corruption in other African countries, and makes, useful comparisons. It goes on to deal with measures that are being put in place, both in Kenya, and other African countries to fight corruption nationally, and internationally. The Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, and the Public Servants Ethics Act that the Kenya Government, has put in place are discussed in some detail. The role of civil society and other organizations like Transparency International, and the media in the fight against corruption are discussed. The international financial institutions, and how they have put in place mechanisms, which include economic, social and political prescriptions to developing countries, in the fight against corruption, are discussed. The book observes, that in Kenya, the General, Parliamentary, Civic and Presidential elections have just been concluded in December 2002. The elections were successful, and the people of Kenya elected what a majority of Kenyans perceive as a peoples' democratic government. The new government has therefore, the peoples' mandate to fight corruption and it has shown the willingness and the capacity to deal with the vice. This book is therefore intended to expose the true nature of the vice, how it has impoverished the Kenyan people, and how it could be eradicated. The book is also intended to show how corruption has slowed down the overall development in Africa in general. The study that was carried out in Kenya does indeed reflect the kind of problems faced by many other countries in Africa in the fight against corruption. As we examined the institutional corruption in various organizations in Kenya, similar levels of corruption were found in the same institutions in other African countries. Kenya is therefore simply a case study of what you would find, with little exception, in most African countries. For example the police corruption in Kenya had great similarities to what we found in South Africa, and Zimbabwe. The institutional corruption, found in various government departments in Kenya, was comparable, with most other African countries. Corruption found in projects funded by international organizations cut across many African countries. The corruption bug has given Africa and Kenya in particular a bad name. Everything must be done to minimize and finally eradicate corruption from the African continent. The developed World must support the efforts being made by Africa to end graft, by ensuring that they too, do not abet or participate in the vice. THE AUTHOR

Much of the devastation caused by the recent earthquake in Turkey was the result of widespread corruption between the construction industry and government officials. Corruption is part of everyday public life and we tend to take it for granted. However, preventing corruption helps to raise city revenues, improve service delivery, stimulate public confidence and participation, and win elections. This book is designed to help citizens and public officials diagnose, investigate and prevent various kinds of corrupt and illicit behaviour. It focuses on systematic corruption rather than the free-lance activity of a few law-breakers, and emphasises practical preventive measures rather than purely punitive or moralistic campaigns.

Introduction: The endemic corruption of weak governments in poor nations is a major impediment to improving world trade, to both those who work for a living and those who manage them. Public corruption, like private greed, is a problem everywhere. Sierra Leone is not an exemption from such an infectious disease. Corruption in Sierra Leone is deeply rooted in the lives of many citizens as they strive to meet both the cost of living and improve the standard of living for their families. Sierra Leone since the 1960s recognized the negative effect of corruption on the country and its economic growth because of both Petty and Grand corruption carried out by Organized Crime Groups (OCGs) and thus has been struggling to solve such a problem in the country over decades. Since the 2000s, laws were made to fight against corruption effectively, amended in 2002, but was finally reformed in 2008 and recently amended in 2019. It is very necessary to consider that Sierra Leone is serious with the fight against corruption this time ever than before. Corruption is described in the Black Law Dictionary as depravity, perversion, or taint and impairment of integrity, virtue, or moral principle, especially the impairment of public official's duties by bribery. And if anyone is found to have committed any corrupt practice while in public service, you would be barred from holding a public office for a certain period, meaning noble or gentlemen are made ignoble, ungentle, or dishonored. Which is a decision in the right direction for such a heinous act of undermining the country's economic growth for once self-interest.This write up would point at some relevant issues such as the brief historical aspect of Sierra Leone, causes of corruption, leading to a civil war, recent reforms as best practice process actions taken, including target investigations, precedential cases leading towards reform through transparency and accountability and the new dynamics to effect change and making the nexus to the Foreign Corruption Practice Act (FCPA), Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Anti-bribery Convention (OECD), Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), with the UK Bribery Act of 2010 all of which aimed to fight corruption for both indigenous good and the global benefit.Consequently, the People in general, can do anything corrupt to meet their needs and want when the slightest opportunity presents itself and it is for this reason that the development of Sierra Leone is prevented or slow as compared to many other developing nations in the African continent. Hence, corruption was the major reason for the twelve years of brutal civil war from 1991 to 2002. Sierra Leone is blessed with the rich diamond deposit, which was first discovered in the 1930s as well as many other mineral resources such as gold, aluminum, rutile, bauxite, iron ore, and fishery resources, to name but a few. But all of these minerals have not positively impacted the country's growth and development in any way, hence Sierra Leone both before and after the brutal civil war has repeatedly been ranked at the bottom of global human development indices as one of the poorest countries in the world when assessed by the World Bank and Transparency international. The World Bank estimated that bribes totaling a trillion dollars were paid in 2002. A significant portion was undoubtedly paid by firms that extract and export natural resources for sale in the developed world and it has been observed that when developing nations are forced to rely wholly on their public prosecutors to impose criminal punishment on their fellow nationals and their partners in crime, corrupt practices have flourished instead. This is especially true in those developing nations blessed with natural resources, that can be stripped for the benefit of firms, and for the politicians who can extract bribes from such firms.
