Get to the root cause of corruption

CORRUPTION is the bane of society. Imagine our country like a tree. If corruption is allowed to take root, to fester beneath the surface, the tree will eventually become diseased.  

And out of a diseased tree, no good fruit can spring forth. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. It is as simple as that. Whether corruption is practised behind closed doors, under the table or where human eyes do not see, its fruit will eventually become visible.
