Rampant Corruption in Pakistan

In Pakistan, we pay petty bribes to sweepers to clean the street you live in, and we pay speed money for electricity, water and gas connection. We please the teachers and principals to admit our children to get them a good education. We pay extra hospital bills to get good service. Corruption is a vogue in Pakistan. In every step, we spend the extras which are countable in corruption. We are enjoying power just by paying a little extra.

Corruption in Pakistan is high in ratio, Pakistani financial crises are getting worse, and the government and media used to describe that it is spreading very quickly and it’s difficult to control. The government has had to find new methods and exert all its resources to get back stolen funds.

High risk of corruption when one is dealing with the police; police help those who are charged with corruption, and they do the corrupt act by letting them go; many mafia people are involved in corruption with the help of the police, which could stop corruption.

Corruption in Pakistan is growing at a considerable rate, people who are doing business in a clean manner are at a loss, but the exact same who are doing it with corruption they are getting more profit; even in the schools, all the students are giving the same paper with their hard work, but few of them who did not show up at school are getting higher grades then the regular ones, the fight of the source is also making honest people think that is the corrupt people are only successful in the society.

Elected politicians are in complete threat of power; they misuse it for their own profit and the comfort of luxury living. Only Pakistan’s politicians are with massive protocol relaxing in the comfort cars, their houses are like kings’ palaces, but their effort for the country is none. Pakistan’s corruption is highest in growth, primarily because of politicians.

Our society is wholly absorbed in corruption; the ones who are out of corrupt institutions are poor or unsuccessful; the one way to get out of poverty is to end corruption so that poor people can have what their right is. Otherwise, the rich people will be influential, and the poor ones will be weakest, and if they try to fight for their rights, without money, they can’t even afford to stand for their-selves.
It’s time the government should take action and kept records of people who have more money with fewer payable jobs, and they should keep a record of bank accounts like every foreign country does.

Imran khan was the 22nd prime minister of Pakistan; all eyes were full of hope on khan, who was working on his promises of anti-corruption, using the fund money to balance the loan of Pakistan and trying to gain the trust of foreign investors and businesses partners alike, and by asking help from various foreign governments to reclaim corruption. To demonstrate their integrity and anti-corruption credentials, the political parties might start by demanding the recovery of all written-off bank debts, which is certainly feasible. Change is a few miles away. We need just the right person to push it on us, and the corrupt leader leads the corrupt country.
