Corruption is an act of unfairly and illegally influencing a decision-making process through giving or receiving a benefit. Its level varies from nation to nation and country to country. Unfortunately, the developing, countries are badly affected by corruption, nepotism and favoritism. A new determination has emerged in countries like Pakistan to fight and curb the corruption. All out efforts are being made by the Balochistan Government for elimination of corruption. We all are well aware that, corruption is a chronic disease if it is not cured, it will destroy everything that comes into its way. As it is said, corruption is the disease and transparency is the cure. For this we have to strengthen our institutions to cope with this menace. I urge the people of Balochistan to stand against corruption and play their role in its elimination. Mass awareness is one of the key tools in curbing corruption. Every civilian must be aware of their rights and responsibilities. And identify those persons, without any distinction of caste, creed, or status, who are involved in corruption. Moreover, our teachers can inculcate the teachings of honesty, integrity, and uprightness into the students. And, as the Ulema wield a great influence over the society; they are well respected, honored, and keenly listened to by every segment of the society; they must educate the common masses regarding their moral obligations and evils of corruption. At same time, strong and efficient Anti-Corruption agencies are inevitable to pursue and prosecute those who are involved in corrupt practices.
