The implications of corruption on governance are profound, undermining public trust, economic growth, and the rule of law. Corruption distorts decision-making processes, leading to the misallocation of resources and inequitable treatment of citizens. It can stifle democratic processes by disenfranchising voters and enabling a culture of impunity. Addressing corruption requires robust accountability measures, systemic reforms, and transparent practices that foster integrity within government institutions, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of governance.
