Is Prevention a good strategy to fight corruption?
Prevention has been recognized globally as one of the three fronts in the fight against corruption. Corruption flourishes in weak systems. By undertaking preventive actions such as examination and reviewing of system and procedures, monitoring projects, work practices and public officials, holding corruption related workshops, promoting best practice guides, good corporate governance, ethics and codes of conduct, the incidents of corruption can be eliminated thus resulting in improved transparency, accountability, effective service delivery, economic and social stability and the eradication of poverty. As the saying goes Prevention is better than Cure.
