Acts which are tantamount to provide favor, abuse of public office and pa’oiization also come under corruption. This is deviation of the formal public duties for private gains. As a result of materialistic and opportunist way of life, corruption or corrupt practices become an integral part of those people who are neither apologetic nor ashamed of their corrupt behavior. The problem is in the last four decades or so, the paradigm has changed in terms of rejection and acceptability of corruption.
