Corruption ImpactAbstract
Corruption has been defined by the World Bank and Transparency International as “the misuse of public office for private gain” (World Bank, 1997). As such, it involves the improper and unlawful behavior of public-service officials, both politicians and civil servants, whose positions create opportunities for the diversion of money and assets from government to themselves and their accomplices.
