Prevent actions of corruption as a national duty

A CRIME of corruption committed within a country, an organization, or a community is called a criminal offence. Root causes of such crime include acts of morality, pres­tige, and greed, as well as actions involving poverty, inadequacy of income and rare job opportunities.

 

The fight against corruption is a national duty that involves raising awareness, prevention, protection, and thorough investi­gation. Such continuous efforts help combat corruption spreading throughout the country, working together with the people to resist and suppress corrupt activities, thereby contributing to a peace­ful and prosperous life for the community.

 

Corruption extends far beyond simply bribes. It in­cludes extortion, fraud, mis­appropriation of State-owned funds and property, using public property for personal purposes, soliciting through abuse of authority, exploiting one’s family and relatives for personal gain, and favouring close associates or acquaint­ances. These are all forms of corrupt practices.

 

If behaviour that enables exploitation is permitted, then among those who are facing and trying to resolve an issue involving both parties, the party that suffers damage will experience not only a loss of social and economic standing but also harm to their honour and dignity, which is recog­nized both by themselves and their surrounding community. This harm leads to feelings of humiliation, mental degra­dation, and loss. At the same time, the individuals who decide to exploit or allow it, whether due to their own choice or other reasons, to commit corruption must bear the moral responsibility and guilt for the exploitation not only in this life but also in future existence.

 

If the existing laws, rules, regulations, and procedures estab­lished by the State are violated, and the State's finances, property, or possessions are harmed or damaged, it constitutes actions of corruption. Therefore, one must act with caution and comply with the current laws, rules, regulations, and procedures accordingly.

 

Furthermore, if during an investigation or inquiry into an act of corruption, there is only one explanation given, it may lead to the emergence of a society not accept corruption. To prevent this, a comprehensive set of ethical principles and guidelines has emerged that completely reject corruption. Alongside these, the process of imparting knowledge and implementing prevention measures must be carried out carefully and appropriately to effectively stop and protect against corruption.

 

To reduce and eliminate corruption, it is necessary not only to comply with existing laws, policies, and regulations but also to combat corruption through systems of responsibility, accountability, and mutual oversight. Moreover, relevant sectors must actively implement coordinated and collaborative actions to effectively reduce and prevent corruption.
