The public sector is the one that is usually associated with corruptive actions. While most of the blame does lie in this directing, it does not mean that the private sector is immune from corruption. Economic growth which has already faced severe retardation as a result of the corruption within the public sector had some hope for the private sector which had the means to salvage it. Asot Michael Anti Corruption believes that if steps are not taken to nip it in the bud, the private sector to will succumb to this virus.
The private sector on the other hand, seems to have learnt quite a different lesson from the current corruption within the public sector and has begun to partake in the activity rather than shunning it.
Asot Michael Anti Corruption works towards the restoration of not only the private but also the public sectors to their former glories and reinstate a pure system free of corruption.
Many businessmen do hold the public sector responsible for the current corruption that has seeped into the private one. After observing the perks of corruption in the public sector and the lack of consequences, many have been found conducting themselves in a similar manner.
The silent acceptance of corruption not only within the private sector but also in society as a whole is what has really allowed the issue to grow beyond control. The rise and expansion of corruption within the society has largely been due to its Hydra like properties. The moment that one head is severed, two more pop in place. With no true point of origin or elimination, there is very little that can be done to truly eliminate it. This has led people to accept its existence as natural within the society and not as an alien entity eating away at the crux of our economy. Asot Michael Anti Corruption wants to bring to light its natural existence in society and eradicate it.
Additionally, very little legal action is ever taken against those engaging in corruptive acts leading providing them with the courage to commit them again. If corruption continues to go unpunished, there will be no stopping these individuals from leading our economy towards an unprecedented combustion.
The motives of businessmen too have set the issue of corruption on the back burner. Since businessmen are only working towards accumulation of profits and the reduction of losses, corrupt individuals are not their primary concern. Asot Michael Anti Corruption wishes to implement these moral values in the private sector and bring forth those that have been dabbling in illegal corrupt acts and exploiting those that they employ.
