А)Political self-interest

In Kazakhstan a lot of politician that abuse their position. They are do everything to the own interests.
One of the main problems in Kazakhstan is corruption. All levels of the social society rotten corruption. Nowadays in Kazakhstan to solve problem as place in hospital or school, not enough only be rich, you must have a connection with public officials. Otherwise you will have to wait a long time. For example In 2004 Transparency International averted Kazakhstan 122 place (which was shared with a few other countries), the level of corruption in the list of 146 countries. The total score of Kazakhstan equals 2.2 out of 10 (though the score below 3 is "rampant corruption") “Corruption is like an infection, it is deadly virus, it has ruined more than one state” words of famous Kazakh scientist Bakhit Tumenova. Corruption has grown to such proportions that began to represent a serious threat to national security. It undermines the foundation of the State and citizens' trust in the government itself ... eventually threatening the country's existence as an independent state.
They are always crying for money. It has been seen officers who intended to solve the problems of corruption are becoming be corrupt. Our leaders are also no less corrupt. For example:Several international NGOs have accused the Nazarbayev(president of Kazakhstan) government in creating visibility into the empty anti-corruption activity. Despite the chairmanship of OSCE, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe in 2010, some activists in the country and abroad say that it was a minimum of effort in solving the problems of "violation of human rights" and "widespread corruption". Thus, the net proceeds of corruption, as usual, and is not stopping.
Actually corruption always exist everywhere, And the question is not so much to get rid of this problem (apparently human nature will not achieve this), and to reduce the rate of

    For that reason I do not agree that corruption is a Western concept. Corruption is most prevalent a problem in the South according to (Transparency International, 2009), while the Scandinavians countries are on the top of that list, most of the sub-Saharan Africa ranks at the bottom of it. Here in America we see corruption in all areas of office; the public and private sectors and also in the government. As we look into corruption there are several things we might considered while doing so. First, transparency refers to “a business or financial situation which is done in an open way without secrets, so all involved can trust that they are fair and honest” (Cambridge Dictionary). Second are accountability, generalization and reciprocity.…

    Corruption has been a part of human life throughout all of time, corruption is when a person misuses their power for personal benefit (“Corruption” 143). The increased power a person has, the more likely they will start to think about their own personal benefit. Doctor Ronald Riggo, a professor of leadership psychology says, “The more people possess power, the more they focus on their own egocentric desires and the less able they are to see others’ perspectives” (Riggo). So, the more power a leader has, the more likely they are to be susceptible to corruption, based on what is best for the…

    Corrupt legal and political systems that were indicative of communist states have greatly influenced the region today. This is due to the connection between economics and politics in the socialist system, which is even closer than it is in liberal democracies (Krastev, p 180). People were forced by the system itself to cheat in order to achieve improv their lives. In western democracies, citizens were able to move around freely and had alternative employers, whereas “in socialist society with technically one employer it was hard to achieve wanted promotion”(Karklins, 80). Frustration at the system endorsed corruption as means of taking revenge at the system (Karklins).…

    The definition of corruption, according to Dictionary.com, is a “dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery or action of making someone or something morally depraved or the state of being so.” There are several forms, scales, and types of corruption. The three major corruption scales are petty, grand, and systemic. The petty scale of corruption is a smaller scale corruption and often occurs especially in cases when a public officers or servants feel underpaid and they take small improper gifts, etc. in exchange for their favor. The next is “grand” corruption, which is a bit higher on the corruption size scale, since this type of corruption occurs “at the highest levels of government in a way that requires significant subversion of the political, legal and economic systems. Such corruption is commonly found in countries with authoritarian or dictatorial governments and in those without adequate policing of corruption by anti-corruption agencies” (CIS, 2009). The third type of corruption size-wise is a systemic corruption, which is “primarily due to the weaknesses of an organization or process” (Alcazar, Andrade, 2001). Factors encouraging the systemic corruption include “conflicting incentives, discretionary powers; monopolistic powers; lack of transparency; low pay; and a culture of impunity” (Alcazar, Andrade, 2001). If we…

    Corruption is defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as the impairment of integrity, virtue, or moral principle; an inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means; a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct (Corruption – Definition, n.d.). In the country of Afghanistan, this definition truly hits home, not only to its residents, but to the rest of the world as well.

    Corruption is one of the deadly, undesirable and wicked sins that has been imposed on the innocent man by some hungry looking monsters. It is omnipresent, almost like a distorted, antithetical version of God for the present times. It doesn’t sound euphonious when we hear that it has not only led to the malfunctioning of the administrative system and poor law and order, but also some serious causes like poverty and redtapism, which has led to the society’s disability. It has distorted all values and made mincemeat of morality, truth and virtue. It has entered into every single aspect of our lives becoming all-pervasive just similar to the air we breathe. It is growing massively in huge proportions and there is barely any sphere of social, political, economic and even religious activity that is free from graft, fraud and corruption of some kind. It is now regarded as a fact of life and an evil which is inseparable with which we have to live with throughout.…
