Introduction: Corruption is the
accomplishment of due and undue desires not through own means, but through
others’ means. When someone abuses his authority or status to take and give
unjustified benefits in different forms whether it is exploiting of the funds,
exploiting of the person or exploiting of the trust, the misuser of
constitutional power is known as corrupted official and his all kinds of
exploitation is known as corruption.
Corruption places the eternity at risk, as there are many instances of the
collapsing of Industries; fall down of the kingdom on account of corruption.
Corruption not only collapses the Industries and kingdoms, but also collapses
all the corrupt figures and their dependents in the long run in different
shapes.
Impact and Effect of Corruption: Corruption and justice cannot go together as
when corruption exists, then justice de-exists, if there is no justice, society
will not flourish, anarchy will be common, the poor will become the poorer and
the rich will become the richer, resultantly the integrity and solidarity of a
country are staggering.
Corruption is also dangerous for the economy as it flourishes undocumented
economy, giving no revenue to the exchequer, no employment to the job seekers,
no relief in inflation and above all no quality of service as well as no pace in
the economic field as it carries the economy towards stagnation.
Due to corruption the imports tremendously increase against exports on account
of which the country is severely indebted and living conditions of people are
generally downfall. The stagnant economy breaks the research and development
work as no real fund is allocated for the said work due to corrupt government
officials.
On account of corruption the trust of the Government is badly shaken – foreign
investment is reduced – remittances from overseas are also reduced as
non-banking channels are begun to exercise the money.
Effect on Society: The stagnation of the economy puts severe negative impact on
the society by way of racism, terrorism, absenteeism and vandalism. Unemployment
forces people to carry out extreme pessimistic acts – some of them become
suicidal attackers, robbers or street criminals causing abandoned law and order
situation.
Eternity at Risk: It is an eternal fact that if corruption reaches the higher
level, the integrity of the country is stunned. Its eternity is also at risk.
For the eternity, for the welfare of the country and for maintaining law and
order situation as well as for the betterment of human beings corruption must be
controlled at all cost.
