Political corruption is a major problem in the US today. It involves almost all levels of government and affects people from all walks of life. Public office is a noble post and citizens put their trust in government officials to carry out their constitutional duties for the benefit of the citizenry. The problem comes in where both elected and unelected officials perform their duties with the goal of personal gain in full view of the law. The ethical and moral wrongs of corruption are unjustifiable in any context.
Therefore, using these six ways to control corruption listed above it will help with corruption and keep trust with the communities they protect (Bohm & Haley, 2012).
First, it is important to define what corruption is. The term, “corruption” covers a broad range of human actions,
The question is how we can stop this corruption? It is hard to stop corruption, but we can try and help prevent it. One way is good governance principles can make it more challenging for corruption to take root. Requirements of good governance are participation, accountability, transparency, and the rule of law (Governance, corruption, and conflict, n.d.) It’s the combination of these principles that can minimize corruption and build a strong society (Governance, corruption, and conflict, n.d.). It is the citizens and governments who need to help minimize these
The Founders avoided the corruption in the government well, I feel as if they had a very good understanding of human nature. They wanted to make sure the every human was in control and had a say in how they wanted to be governed, The founders belief in "government by the consent of the governed". The reason for a checks and balances system to not have a government just make all the decisions and lead to corruption. The constitution as well is one of the main reason why i believe the founders had a good balance. We had the right to have a say in things and a vote for what we feel is right for us.The people in the position to make the laws couldn't just implement what they felt was right. it had to go through the citizens as well.

Corruption is something very common in the world today. This corruption has seriously affected the economy and resulted in misappropriation of public resources. Many place policies have not changed the situations because of lack of commitment by government in enforcing the set policies. Corruption is defined as the abuse of power for personal gain. People who are in the politics become corrupt because of greed; they want the public resources to satisfy their own needs. This term is very broad, and people perceive it differently, and thus politicians and civil society have a different definition of the term. Although there are some practices that have been defined to constitute corrupt practices, still corruption is extraordinarily broad and
The public sector, despite improvements in technology, expansion of information and knowledge which have provided most people with access to ways of improving their work and performance, the fact that this sector of the economy relies so heavily on people and it’s managed by the government in one of its several roles makes it very inefficient. However its expected that the government should engage in efficiently allocating the resources they are in charge of managing.
Throughout history, several sovereign nations across the world have been subject to political corruption by government officials for illegitimate personal gain. Corruption used to be a low profile line item. However, today it has reached heights at which the government must get involved to try and cover it up to ensure its secrecy and avoid exploitation. This instance is referred to as Crony Capitalism, which is a theory that has evolved from corruption over a period of time. This idea involves more intervention by the government who achieves its purpose by providing incentives and subsidies to their known business partners in specific operating fields. They favour this particular set of business owners who they keep close ties with over
Governments are very sensitive to political corruption. Therefore, there are many types of corruption such as illegitimate use of inside information, drug trafficking, patronage, extortion, bribery, fraud, embezzlement, and many more. Bribery could be one of the common corruption in the country. It
During the 1980’s and 1990’s the New Public Management approach placed focus on the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of government organizations, instruments and programs, and higher quality service delivery. This new model of public sector management, often regarded by many authors as "not a reform of the traditional public administration, but a transformation of the public sector and its relationship with government and society” (Hoos, J., G.Jenei and L. Vass, 2003) emerged in the most advanced countries in addition to many developing ones.

Eventhough there might be distortion in achieving government policy, which is sometime is cause by unavoidable external cause, the citizen are expecting Public Administration would be handle it in a way that would bring less impact to the society. In order to satisfy citizen’s almost idealistic expectations, Public Administration must have the sense of highest integrity. Government are entrusted with public funds and resources, and must adhere to the highest ethical standards. Honesty, integrity, propriety, and objectivity, These goals can only be achieved through a combination of individual proffesionalism, personal standards and rigorous control framework (Deloitte). These years, people are began to question government officials integrity and government are trying to promotes the importance of integrity to their officials as well as to the citizens. For example in Malaysia, the government had establish Malaysian Integrity Instituition and Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission, that would receive reports from citizens regarding the misbehaviour of government officials.

2.2 Limitation to grand corruption One of the most famous typologies of corruption analysed in anti-corruption research is that of grand18 and petty corruption, although no international or national legal instruments provides expressly for this distinction. Thus, there is no legal definition for the term „grand corruption‟, with the effect that the concept and its prerequisites remain controversial.19 2.2.1 Qualitative element: powerful high-level authority Originally,20 the level of authority where corruption takes place has exclusively determined the distinction between grand and petty corruption. Whilst grand corruption takes place at the policy formulation end of politics, thus at the highest levels of political authority, petty corruption, also labelled as bureaucratic or administrative corruption, occurs in the public administration, at the implementation end of politics. For instance, payments to mid- and low-level government officials, such as police or immigration officers, demanding bribes constitute petty corruption. Beyond controversy, high-level authorities encompass prominent figures such as heads of States, heads of governments and ministers. However, the precise scope of high-level authority remains subject to debate.21 2.2.2 Quantitative element: large-scale corruption Increasingly, authors focus also on quantitative aspects to draw a line between grand and petty corruption.22 Typically, grand corruption is committed on a large scale and involves 18 The term „grand corruption‟ was first used by Moody-Stuart in The Good Business Guide to Bribery (TI 1994). He defined it as „the misuse of public power by heads of State, ministers, and top officials for private pecuniary profit.‟; Jayawickrama N „Corruption - A Violation of Human Rights?‟ available at http://resources.transparency.bg/download.html?id=219 (accessed 26 October 2013). 19 On the differentiation between grand and petty corruption, see Mashali B „Analyzing the relationship between perceived grand corruption and petty corruption in developing countries: case study of Iran‟ (2012) 78 International Review of Administrative Sciences 777 et seq. 20 Moody-Stuart (note 18) based his concept merely on the hierarchy of the perpetrator
