Corruption is not peculiar to any country, continent or state; it is sure a global issue which is an endemic to all government all over the world.

It is so visible, that it is impossible for a citizen or even a visitor to deny its presence. Corruption is a problem that is engulfed everywhere around the globe, in some countries more than others and it was not until a few years ago that the international donor community recognized corruption as one of the main responsibilities for the failure of development in Africa .Corruption hinders economic development and gradually slows down the democratic process and stability within a political system. The money gained out from corruption does not trickle down to the people nor is it used to make any development, instead is it used for private gain and to fund luxurious living. Corruption in Africa can be seen as both systemic and generalized, systemic since it is more of a rule than an exception and generalized since it is not limited to just one sector. There are three types of corruption that are found in a society, but will only mention two of them. The first type of corruption is described as grand corruption: which is corruption acts done by the political elite.

In my many travels to different parts of the world. I have seen that public corruption is commonly regarded as an issue for the country. Many governments have the same issues. Whether, it is domestic or international government. There is speculation of corruption and unfair treatment of the governments all over the world. There are other programs that can assist the government such as aid organizations, along with donor-states that have distinct programs to combat the issues. When you think about countries that contain a higher rate of corruption, there has been points made that the corruption is persistent, the point has been made that it has some advantage as well. This is not something any should be bragging about; municipal dishonesty can be and will be seen as an unescapable defect of developing a government (Bayley, 2010).

The bank has been criticized for giving loans to countries with corrupted government (Behar, 2012). Corruption is a major problem in developing countries. Millions of loans in financial assistance would be rendered ineffective if such countries were run by corrupted governance.

Corruption is discussed in fields as diverse as economics, political science, anthropology, sociology, history, organization studies, international business, business ethics, psychology, and philosophy. According to Caiden (2001, 19), anthropologists found that public officials were distinguished from the rest of the population for their unique role in providing services and goods to the rest of the population. These public officials are expected to possess professional integrity, and consequently uphold the public interest. Therefore, the public officials also contribute to good governance. Corruption is barely a problem that is exclusive to developing countries (Klitgaard, 1998:3). Additionally, according to various researches, (Transparency International, 2011 and Kligaard 1998) corruption is mostly rampart in Africa.

Corruption exists to some extent in all countries. But in Latin America, corruption seems an inextricable part of life. Some schools of thought, particularly those in the political science circle, view corruption as functional to the maintenance of a political system. Meaning, corruption may not be ideal, but it represents a way for people to access resources that would otherwise be unavailable to them. In sharp contrast, economists point to the many downfalls of corruption: a climate of fear and lack of trust in public institutions, a weakening of the democratic system, increased inequality and violence, diminished economic growth, and so on. This paper examines the features of corruption in Latin America and discusses their implications.

Corruption is nothing new, nor is it peculiar to any particular context. It takes place in greater or lesser degree in all countries of the world, irrespective of political and economic system, big or small, developed or developing. However, in a developing country like Bangladesh its impacts are most unbearable. Corruption has become a key issue of public interest in Bangladesh not merely because of the annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) published by Transparency International which has for the fifth successive year ranked Bangladesh at the bottom of the list, but more importantly because of the way corruption affects the lives of the common people. Irrespective of whether Bangladesh ranks at the bottom or higher in international comparison, there is a widespread public concern in the country about a pervasive presence of corruption. All the major political parties recognize corruption as a key national issue and almost

Nigeria is a country of promise that is hampered by a series of huge challenges. One of the most pervasive and destructive issues facing Nigeria is the chronic level of corruption. Africa’s most populous country with over 170 million people, modern Nigeria emerged from British colonialism gaining full independence in 1960.
