“The virus of corruption has infected from the highest to the lowest in the hierarchy and it is salvaged by the political bosses. Most politicians and candidates do not regard elections as merely a process that yields public office or Governamental power. They use election to amass money not only for their parties and themselves but for the future elections as well. Conversion of black money through politicians is extremely easy and followed my its possessors. […] The widespread corruption has eroded the entire administrative apparatus and people experience that their legitimate and lawful work cannot be done in any Governamental Office without greasing the palms of the dealing incumbents. The Anti-Corruption departments merely fun ction as “scare crow”: and the few cases made out by them simply blows the dust to hoodwink the people. This complete erosion of honesty has greatly affected the attempts of Government servants to practise honesty, for an honest officer has always suffered at the hands of politicians, who force him to act corruptly in their or their party’s interest.”
