Causes behind Corruption

There are a number of causes behind corruption. #Unemployment, #lack of good governmence, #lack of morality, #inadequacy of salary,#political instabilities etc. are some of them. All consuming poverty and low standard of life also contribute to the increase of corruption. Thousands of people in Bangladesh have been suffering from unemployment. They have no works and no means to afford their livelihood. So, they get involved in corruption. On the other hand, ambition for power and pelf tempts many people to pile up wealth this or that way. This tendency gives rise to corruption in the society.

Forms of corruption in Bangladesh

The most usual form of corruption is bribery. There are other forms of corruption too, such as #unequal distribution of goverment funds, #sharing of relief of officials, #nepotism in public servieetc. However, the corrupted people in Bangladesh have turned the forms of corruption into almost an art form. They have been so much skillful in this regard that even the newly formed free and fair anti corruption commission does not seem to be very effective.

Effects of corruption

Corruption lames a nation. The country gets an undignified introduction worldwide. It minimizes the chance for foreign investments.
