Corruption: A Tale of Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

To understand corruption in Uganda's Public Service, one requires a contemplative and practical, yet simplified, examination of how it has come to be. In this book, the notion that corruption and its effects start and end with one person is challenged. The idea that corruption affects every single person in the community, one moment at a time, is carefully expounded. Whether a sick mother cannot receive free drugs at the Government Health Centre because the Health Worker has stolen them, whether the primary school child cannot get a wholesome education on account of an absentee teacher, corruption alters the quality of life, one person at a time. It gradually gathers momentum hurling the community to a final destination of socio-economic gridlock, widespread deprivation and poverty. Ultimately these breed the environment that turns corruption into a state of affairs that sabotages Governance and National Security. Any nation that ignores corruption signs off its own stability and bequeaths the future of its children to anarchy.
