Opening
Corruption is a complex problem that has both supply as well as demand aspect.
Body · points
Supply aspects of corruption
→ From the side of service delivery For eg: public servants willing to provide the service only for a bribe.
- Even though the other person qualifies for recieving the service eg: clearing all the driving tests and yet have to give bribe.
- When the person doesn't qualify to receive the service eg: failing the driving test.
Demand side of corruption
→ It arises because people are willing to offer bribe to "get work done" - speedily or illegally etc.
Thus the demand and supply gives rise to what is known as collusive corruption. Both the parties gained personal benefit from such a transaction.
For eg: Getting driving license even after failing the driving test, by paying bribe.
The collusive corruption is very dangerous because:- → Difficult to identify - because no body wants to complain. → Keeps the corruption going on. → The deserving persons lose out for no fault of theirs.
Close · a way forward
Thus it is important to curb both aspect. In this context, the recently amended corruption act that made offering bribe a crime is the right move.
