CORRUPTION: Inequity steals the hopes of humanity by marginalizing the potential contributions from a majority sector of humanity. Corruption is both a major cause and a result of poverty around the world. It occurs at all levels of society, from local and national governments, civil society, judiciary functions, large and small businesses, military and other services and so on. Corruption affects the poorest the most, in rich or poor nations, though all elements of society are affected in some way as corruption undermines political development, democracy, economic development, the environment, people’s health and more. The cure for AIDS, the cure for Cancer, the mission to Mars, the next Bob Marley, the next Malcolm X are trapped in a village somewhere in the so-called Third World. Trapped by institutionalized racism, trapped by the policies of the World Bank, trapped by a corrupt African leadership. The biggest untapped resource is not in the ground, It is in the people but this future is stolen because of the injustices of this world. Corruption kills and murders Africans every day. And we need to deal with as a form of murder. When funds for a hospital is divert to the private purse of some corrupt individual how many people die from preventable illnesses? When a school which should have been built ends up in the pocket of some evil arrogant villain how much human potential, future leaders, futures doctors, teachers, new markets, new builders are destroyed by that one greedy action. Corruption is murder.
