How does corruption impact the daily lives of the poor and disadvantaged according to CJI
Beyond scams that grab headlines, corruption affects the poor and disadvantaged on a daily basis and diminishes public trust.
- Corruption diverts resources away from essential public services such as healthcare and education, disproportionately affecting the poor who rely on these services.
- It results in inferior quality of services and infrastructure, which can be detrimental to the well-being and livelihoods of the poor.
- Corruption can lead to unfair access to opportunities, with the disadvantaged often being denied access to jobs, education, and healthcare due to bribery and nepotism.
- It perpetuates a cycle of poverty by limiting economic growth and development opportunities for those already marginalized.
- Corruption erodes public trust in institutions, making it harder for the poor to seek justice or support when they face challenges.
