Corruption

Corruption refers to the dishonest or unethical conduct by individuals, typically in positions of power, where they exploit their authority for personal gain. It often involves practices such as bribery, embezzlement, nepotism, and fraud. Corruption undermines trust in institutions, distorts economic and social development, and can lead to widespread societal harm by perpetuating inequality and injustice. It can occur in both public and private sectors and can manifest at various levels, from local governments to international organizations. Combatting corruption is essential for fostering transparency, accountability, and good governance in society.
