Lately, many nations have been bombarded by the rising cases of corruption. This vice has hindered lots of progress with public funds swindled and channeled away from their intended use to satisfy people’s selfish interests.
Notably, it is the persons positions of authority who are put to task with corruption mainly monitored at higher levels; and we forget the role that the "common people" play.
If we include a bottom to top approach in fighting corruption, we will be able to tackle the vice better. For example, sensitization and capacity building can be buttressed at the grassroots to counter the problem.
In my opinion, waiting for the people with authority to rise up to this challenge first is no solution, but if every citizen takes it upon themselves to maintain a corrupt free society, then we shall be able to progress in the fight.
