Corruption undermines the socio-economic and political growth of a given nation and a country that fails to tackle this challenge is bound to fail.

Corruption is one of the obstacles to democracy and good governance. In 1999 the Commonwealth Finance Ministers, commenting on the Framework for Commonwealth Principles on Promoting Good Governance and Combating Corruption, noted that “Good governance is not a luxury but a basic requirement for development. Corruption, which undermines development, is generally an outcome and a symptom of poor governance. It has reached global proportions and needs to be attacked directly and explicitly…where corruption is ingrained and pervasive, especially at the highest political levels, its eradication may require a sustained effort over a protracted period of time.

Why did we failed the MCC award after the President has work tirelessly? Ladies and Gentlemen I believe is because of the Failure in the fibre optic Cable Project. Poor management from Alpha khan
