What is Bribery and Corruption?

---

Bribery is the receiving or giving of gift to illegally induce an action or proposal for ones gain or benefit.
Corruption is the fraudulent or illegal act especially by those persons in power. It's that abuse of authority by those persons ruling (the government, police, official body) for personal gain or interest.

Both of the above actions are lousy, illegal and shouldn't be encouraged in our society both by the government and it's citizens.

Why is it common?

---

Many persons wants personal favour no matter it's cost at times this can result to favouritism. It's very sure that everyone wants one favour or the other but some persons don't believe in waiting, they think their power or wealth can make them achieve that goal fast even if it's not meant for them.

When Person A (Person in power) wants something and Person B (a low standard individual) is also in search for that same thing. Since Person A is wealthy he goes to achieve that target very fast either using his power to oppress and conquer or using his money to induce or bribe for it. The description I gave now is a day-to-day operation everyone always want to achieve something everyday and some persons who has those influence will surely involve themselves into illegal act which makes bribery and corruption very common in our society today.

Explain how Bribery and Corruption happens in your city, state or country.

These acts are very common in my environment and country in general. One good sample I'll use in describing how it's done here is Electoral practice (Election)

Election is one of the major factor Bribery and corruption has been taking place in my country today. It's very simple, anytime Election begins or voting is about to kick-off, the politicians go ahead bribing people with gifts or money to vote them since they know normally they don't deserve that position. Some of them go further to empower youths with arms and weapons to cohesively make people vote them and even still the ballot box. All of these acts simply describes how bribery and corruption occur in the society today.

Why is it wrong for public office holders to get involved in bribery and corruption?

---

In my discussions today, I'll be hitting the strong or major point. In this aspect, the major reason why it's wrong is because they're suffering the people they are leading. A leader or office holder is one way or the other adding sorrow or sadness to the face of those persons they're ruling anytime they indulge themselves into any of this lousy act. When someone plays trick or uses his influence to collect what isn't meant for him/her, he has caused pain to the other party who's meant to take it. Such person should also know that he's bringing hate upon himself.

What should be done to public office holders that get involved in bribery and corruption?

---

• Since such acts are illegal hence done secretly, any office holder caught partaking in it should be reported to the management.

• The victim should be arrested.
• If it's a case whereby the victim is employed, such person should be sacked immediately when caught.
• Such person shouldn't be allowed to hold any office position again.

Conclusion

---

As we've discussed Bribery and corruption shouldn't be encouraged in our society today and anyone who indulges in it should be penalized when caught.
