Among many uncertain things in this country, corruption is surely the worst social evil that has substantially destroyed the country's potential to grow. From my point of view, it's sad that the articles might have drawn little attention from top officials since they have always had a knack of turning a blind eye towards such a disturbing study.
Corruption is the number one enemy of respect for law, strict enforcement of law and justice.
Injustice is in turn the enemy, among other things, of investment from which social and economic development derives. It is here where social poverty starts and stays ingrained. Unless the corruption is properly addressed, whatever efforts the government tries to exert prima facie in order to reduce poverty, it will never produce any positive result. As the already adopted laws were seen to be overruled by the persons enforcing them, it is obvious that shrewd businessmen from major international entities do not see any opportunities to invest here. Investors see no reasons to waste their funds in a country where money, not law, prevails.
