How does corruption impact the lives of the poor and disadvantaged on a daily basis
Beyond scandals, this issue affects marginalized communities and undermines trust in society.
- Corruption diverts resources meant for essential services like healthcare and education, depriving the poor of access to quality services.
- It perpetuates inequality by benefiting a few at the expense of the many, leading to limited opportunities for economic and social advancement among the disadvantaged.
- Corruption increases the cost of living as bribes and kickbacks inflate prices, making basic goods and services unaffordable for the poor.
- It erodes trust in public institutions, discouraging marginalized communities from seeking help and justice when needed.
- Corruption fosters a culture of impunity, where powerful individuals exploit vulnerable populations with little fear of consequences.
