56. The fight against corruption has intensified with the setting up of Transparency International and its chapters in many countries across the world. A nongovernmental organization based in Berlin, TI was founded in 1993 by a group of individuals who had become increasingly aware of the devastating effects of corruption. Corruption deepens poverty by distorting social and economic development and disrupting the provision of essential public services. It also hurts democracy by undermining principles of fair play and justice. Instead of contracts being awarded on the basis of fair competition, they are awarded as a result of competitive bribery. The consequences are dire. Investors keep away and trade suffers. Decisions are made not for public benefit but for private interests. Costs incurred are high and prestigious projects are favored over cost-efficient development projects. TI believes that the stamping out of corruption is not the responsibility of anyone agency but the responsibility of all parties concerned. Every section of society must pitch in because corruption affects everyone, especially the poor. The government. nongovernmental organizations, members of society as well as the local and international business communities must work together if corruption is to be combated at all levels. TI ropes in governments to set up chapters in countries, which seek consensus and bring about systematic reform at both national and international levels. The media is also brought into the picture as one of the primary aims of each chapter is to raise public awareness. TI publishes a quarterly newsletter and an annual Corruption Perception Index. The index ranks countries from the cleanest to the most corrupt, based on the perception of the international business community, risk analysts and the general public. In 1998, some 85 countries participated and Denmark topped the list as the country seen to the least level of corruption. This survey attempts to gauge the tendency to bribe senior public officials by major corporations. The survey ranks Sweden as the country least likely to offer bribes while China occupies the bottom spot at number 19. Malaysia is ranked 15th. To stamp out graft, there are some who believe that the penalties and consequences that will befall the culprits if found guilty of corruption should be made known to all. At the same time. a sense of outrage must be developed in people so that they get angry at corruption because it is about injustice, dishonesty and the impoverishment of many for the benefit of a few. Nurturing such an attitude can only begin at home. If what makes a person incorruptible are the values he holds on to --personal, ethical and religious --then the home exerts a mighty influence on inculcating these values in individuals. Graft must be stamped out. It is insidious and evil and in time to come, will affect every level of society. It is time for people to stand up and act in a concerted manner to rid society of this menace. Otherwise there is every possibility that
corruption becomes a way of life undermining justice and fair play and all that is good in society.
How does corruption deepen poverty?
Cost-efficient development projects are not carried out.
Money is channeled away to fund more prestigious projects.
The poor are totally ignored.
Basic amenities are not provided to the poor.
57. How is the role of Transparency International crucial in the battle against corruption?
It gets people in different countries to join its organization.
It gets governments to agree to set up a branch in their country.
It has global support.
It declares the finds of a survey showing levels of corruption.
58. What inference can be drawn if countries are not willing to have a TI chapter set up in their region?
That their governments are clean and corrupt-free
That their governments are corrupt
That there is something to hide
That the countries are not willing to subject themselves to any laws.
59. One of the most powerful that can ensure success in the efforts of TI is
the government machinery

60. What is the effect of letting the public be aware of the penalties and consequences if found guilty of corruption? It instills in everyone
