Continuous corruption

May 26, 2020

On the basis of my personal experience and exposure with various public-sector organizations, I have logically concluded that behind every corrupt person, there is always a big boss or someone in a strong position.

As long as this despicable practice continues, come what may, corruption will not be eliminated from this society. It is because of this implicit or explicit backing or patronage of authority person(s), unscrupulous elements indulge in corrupt practices and corruption in all its forms and manifestations continues in this country.

It simply means that something is fishy. As the maxim reads, “Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion’ so a person at the helm affairs must keep officers and employees of shoddy character and questionable track record at an arm’s length.
