There are two aspects to the fight against corruption. Having strong laws is the remedial aspect. The long term preventive aspect is creating a sense of belongingness. One steals from the other. One does not steal from oneself. Educating people in the idea that we are all part of one family can go a long way in removing corruption. The culprit here is not corrupt people, but a corrupt mindset. If we can replace the feeling of lack with a feeling of abundance in a person, he/she will not think about indulging in corruption.
All of us need to join our efforts in removing this malaise and this is definitely a step in the right direction. I want to congratulate you for launching this campaign at a global scale and extend all my support towards it.
I wish you every success in what you are doing. We certainly see in our own work in the SFO that citizens of countries are becoming increasingly intolerant of corruption and want to see it eradicated. We shall produce better societies if we are able to do this.
