Corruption defined as the abuse of public power for personal ends has always existed. During recent decades, however it has grown both in terms of geographic extent and intensity. Since the mid 1970s. it has infiltrated virtually every country in the world. It was hoped that the easing of political and economic restrictions that characterized the 1990, after the end of the cold war would have gone some way to reducing this phenomenon. Through increased openness resulting from political pluralism and the freedom of the press, the process of democratization should, under normal circumstances mobilize efforts to overcome
corruption. However, emergent democratizes are still fragile and seen to find the task of tackling established self interests a formidable one.
