No issue is more cancerous than corruption in today’s world. This issue permeates through every fabric of our society – from the highest government levels to the lowly streets. In addition to the irreparable damage it causes to democracy, institutions and communities, the economic cost of corruption is large enough to cripple whole economies. According to a UN report, an estimated one trillion dollars are exchanged under tables and another 2.6 trillion lost to corrupt activities globally.
