Corruption

To understand corruption in Uganda’s Public Service, one requires a contemplative and practical, yet simplified, examination of how it has come to be. In this book, the notion that corruption affects every single person in the community one moment at a time is carefully expounded. Whether a sick mother cannot receive free drugs at the Government Health Centre because the Health Worker has stolen them, whether the primary school child cannot get a wholesome education on account of an absentee teacher, corruption alters the quality of life, one person at a time. It gradually gathers momentum, hurling the community to a final destination of socio-economic gridlock, widespread deprivation and poverty. Ultimately, these breed the environment that turns corruption into a state of affairs that sabotages Governance and National Security. Any nation that ignores corruption signs off on its own stability and bequeaths the future of its children to anarchy.
