ABSTRACT
David Cameron, prime minister of the United Kingdom, said that “Corruption is the cancer at the heart of so many of the problems we face around the world” (Cameron, 2015). He added,
The migrants drowning in the Mediterranean are fleeing from corrupt African states. Our efforts to address global poverty are too often undermined by corrupt governments preventing people getting the revenues and benefits of growth that are rightfully theirs. Corruption undermines the wider global economy too. The World Economic Forum estimates that corruption adds 10% to business costs globally, while the World Bank believes some $1 trillion is paid in bribes every year. Cutting corruption by just 10% could benefit the global economy by $380 billion every year – substantially more than was estimated for the Doha Trade Round. (Cameron, 2015)
