"Corruption Exhacerbes poverty"

There seems to be no doubt on this statement as demonstrated in the speech of the Prime minister of Thailand during the opening session of the 14th International anti-corruption Conference in Bangkok this morning
.

Young man, don't make illusion in your mind by thinking that with corruption, you will get out of poverty. This is just a mirage since you don't evaluate the consequences of corruption on your future personaly, that of your family and that of your nation as a whole.

Corruption always impedes the implementation of many development projects and brings people to see poverty as a fatality. No!!!, poverty is not a fatality. Let's put our efforts together and fight corruption, the success of this fight will curb down poverty in our countries

Youth from everywhere around the world and in developing countries in particular, this is a call for you to get really involved in the fight against this social pest that removes all our hope in future.

The GYAC youths present in Bangkok are unanimous on this idea: "With corruption, our nations can not come out of poverty; The fight against poverty fully integrates a real war against corruption".

We are engaged in this fight. Are you? If not, please join us now.

Very interesting real!

Poverty is by largely a product of corruption. Corruption erodes opportunities for development in societies. Corruption disrupt peace and harmony in the society, a very important factor for development. Corruption denies justice in the society. It does produce all kind of evils which do not favor development.

Poverty cant be a cause of Corruption but it is a promoting factor as Gabi says here. And to achieve a decent life in poor communities. Corruption has to be fought seriously without entertainments.

We who are youth, let us take our positions in our countries and fight this pest real if we want to be remembered by our descendants.
