Administrative and financial corruptionAbstract
The phenomenon of administrative corruption is a very widespread global phenomenon with deep roots that take on wide dimensions, in which various factors intersect that are difficult to distinguish between. Corruption is a phenomenon known to all societies in all times and eras, and it continues because it is not specific to a society in itself or a specific historical stage. However, the size of the phenomenon is worsening to the point that it has become Many societies are threatened with stagnation and perhaps collapse. The more these societies achieve a higher degree of democracy and transparency, the greater their ability to combat and contain corruption. This means that there is an inverse correlation between the level of quality or goodness of governance and the degree of corruption and its spread in any society. The greater the quality of governance. The level of corruption, its degree of seriousness, its extent, and its spread have decreased, and vice versa.
This fact has a logical consequence, which is that improving the quality of governance is the most effective way to combat corruption. We believe, based on what is happening in Iraq regarding administrative and financial corruption, and according to the corruption cases announced by the Public Integrity Commission, which has approached the third thousand of them, that (73) seventy-three cases concern people at a high level in the government.
Accordingly, the government must begin to protect everyone responsible for corruption, whether financial or administrative to curb his enthusiasm for corruption, and to be honest without losing his balance or compromising his money and honor before he bargains with the honor of the Iraqis or their money.
