What is Corruption?
Corruption is the abuse of power to benefit the individual. It is a fast growing problem in many countries, including Zambia. Corruption can take many forms, and it can involve making financial or sexual gains, and deliberately delaying service. It has strong negative effects, as it denies people access to health, jobs, education, food and water, and perpetuates poverty.
Individual level
- Wrongdoers will think they can get away with their behavior, they will keep doing the same to others
Collective level
- You normalise corruption. Just like you, others will also behave in the same way: no one will report because no one will think it is a possibility. Corruption remains the norm.
What is Maladministration?
Maladministration refers to the inefficient, improper, or unethical conduct in the administration of public or private services. It involves failures in adhering to proper procedures, principles, or standards that result in inadequate, unfair, or biased decision-making.

Reporting corruption is crucial for maintaining transparency, accountability, and the rule of law within any society. It helps expose unethical and illegal activities that harm public institutions and undermine public trust. When individuals or organizations report corruption, they contribute to safeguarding public resources, ensuring that they are used for the intended purposes such as infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
Additionally, reporting corruption helps deter future corrupt acts by holding offenders accountable through legal consequences. It also empowers citizens by giving them a voice in the fight against corruption, thereby fostering a culture of integrity and good governance. Ultimately, a robust reporting system is essential for reducing corruption and promoting sustainable development.
