That was an interesting article by ericpinto. I should like to read the book I agree that corruption is debilitating factor whether it be Goa or India or whereever. Having said that corruption exists everywhere. There is petty courruption and big time corruption. Any form of corruption should be frowned upon and individuals can make a difference. I recall having to register my son at the Church for "zone". It is a simple task. An official from Mapuca turned up to do the registration. It was not a pressureised job given that I was the only customer there. The man said came straight out with it at the end of the registration of name and address. Would I provide "some emoluments". I was not quite prepared for this and feigned ignorance and then said NO. He was not a Goan which somehow mitigated my embarrassment. I think we can all do something to prevent corruption. After Nigeria and Pakistan, Kenya is considered to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Erstwhile man Joseph Karanja set the world alight by doing something about it. He is well worth a read. He is lawyer who studied in India who felt he had to do something for his country. Here is a reference. http://peoplebuildingpeace.org/thestories/article.php?id=135&typ=theme&pid=31 Fighting Corruption The Clean Election Campaign in Kenya Joseph Karanja.
