When it comes to corruption, people generally fall into two categories; either you are a perpetrator or a victim. It is the latter group of people that Asot Michael Anti Corruption aims to protect. By protection it is meant that there should be a level playing field for all ‘players’ in the society, with decisions that are of central importance to them, being made on the basis of fairness and merit.
There is no denying the fact that corruption exists at all levels in the society. Different social groups use corruption as an aid to further their agenda. Be it a simple decision of child admittance in a school of high prestige to the large multi million dollar transaction, the prospects of corruption loom large. Often between two choices of equal merit, corrupt tendencies often play the decisive factor.
The perpetrators of corruption believe that every thing has a price. And that includes people with decision making powers. Their idea is that if you can’t win them over, buy them over. It is this very thinking that Asot Michael Anti Corruption aims to destroy.
On the contrary, there are genuinely good people, who decry corruption, but believe it has buried its tentacles deep down into the psyche of our society, that nothing can be done to limit its menace, let alone completely eliminating it. According to Asot Michael Anti Corruption Mission, this thinking is equally invalid, and is contributing towards the growth of corruption, by being complacent towards its evils. If this is the case, then nothing can be further from the truth!
Asot Michael Anti corruption movement addresses the very same group of people as described above, and leads them with example, that nay, all is not lost, and if we but try, we can work together to root out corruption from the psyche of our society, and eliminate its manifestation in the commercial and social dealings.
