Thus it is gnawing away at the vitals of our society. The rising level of corruption has given way to cynicism depression and a sense of insecurity people have now started thinking that there is no end to corruption and that to feed the corrupt one has to be corrupt oneself.

This ignorance on the part of the common man is ignorant of his rights or the normal rules and regulation. They bribe event for a genuine and legal right that should have been done in normal routine.

Low salaries compel most govt servants into corruption. no doubt, salaries of these people should be increased.but this measure alone will not be enough for tacking the issue of corruption.

Therefore, to address these issues in a meaningful and effective manner the following measures can be increased. All civil and military officers, politicians and other responsible persons should be asked to file a declaration of their assets before assuming any public office. The institution of ombudsman should be given more powers. The scope and areas of his jurisdiction should be enlarged. A powerful anti-corruption commission comprising known man of integrity should be constitute. it should be empowered to take action against any person found guilty of corruption.
