Beats of My Heart

Corruption..corruption and corruption. Like the God, corruption too became all pervading.
Corruption is the greatest hindrance to growth. Corruption at the public service and in political circles is the shame to democracy. After the world war II , corruption devil was on rampage across the globe. Almost all the nations suffered and still continues to suffer from this menace. Corruption has significant effect on income per head not only in developed countries but also in poor nations.

Like all ordinary persons, I am too a victim of corruption. I can not help but pay, to get my work done at various public service offices. Politicians always make promises to completely eradicate the corruption if they got elected. Once they elected they simply turn blind and collect their share of bribes.

As  civilized citizens we need to have a look in to this matter. Though it effects us at individual level we try to minimize it, rather than opposing it. Corrupt public servants may become wealthy today, but they too need to pay to get their retirement benefits, once they  are out of service.
This may be ridiculous to some people. But see how much development we are losing. If the public money was spent for public services, our lives will be better. Pathetic public health care, education system and public libraries resembles the level of corruption.

Wake up leaders we vote for you, to better our lives, not to make them worse.

And we should vote for a clean government which take right measures to curb corruption. we need strict laws to combat corruption. Accountability and responsibility should be strictly observed in public services.

I took a oath not to pay anymore bribes in the year 2009 and in future. What about you?
