Corruption and good governance sit at the opposite end of the spectrum, while good governance represents the ideal environment for governments and corporations seek to eradicate. Corruption involves the abuse of power for private gain. This refers to gain of any kind-financial, in status-and it could gain by individual. Apart from bribery, it can include patronage, nepotism, embezzlement, influence peddling, use of one’s position for self-enrichment, bestowing of favours from on relatives and friends, and absenteeism.
