Needless to say, an important workshop aim to fight a social vice, nevertheless such workshops should be held more frequently round the clock throughout the country instead of an isolated yearly event. More importantly, such workshops should also focus on defining corruption with more clarity since corruption is not only about bribes , but illicit and deliberate manipulation of lawful and normal course of actions. It’s right here, where we need to empower our citizens socially so to create pathways that give citizens relevant tools to engage and participate in their social surroundings – identify priorities, problems and find solutions collectively.
From a more technological perspective, in the age of a social media boom we must learn how to engage it positively, in terms of spreading, anti-corruption messages – that having said, we must engage citizens at local levels in line with the scale and scope of various types of corruption happening around.
We expect the recently ended workshop to gather momentum by organising small to big campaigns in the shape of holding open – air drama, theatres to movie making; turn the vile of corruption to subject matters of books, stories and poetry to our regular day conversations.
But the Anti-Corruption Commission must provide courage by leading the anti-corruption drive from the front against the powerful ones. Everybody knows that the leadership in corruption is coming from the politicians.
