Furthermore, it is accoladed with being the crown of creation on the basis of ethics it adorns, societal norms it forms, and the traditional values it inherits from the ancestors. It prospers if it follows the above-mentioned canon otherwise it is prone to deterioration. The corruption alike all other social evils infiltrates in the file and ranks of any nation. Inevitably, this infiltration descends from top to the bottom.
Secondly, the dull and apathetic leadership, legally or illegally, captures the reins of power and ultimately remain direction-less in the policy formulati on. It paves the way for the inventory of the corrupt courtiers. They cause the major set-backs in the strides, aimed at the national development and the income growth. These elements due to the lack of capabilities and sincerity remain willing to do all what they can.
They put on the market the national assets on cheaper rate, seriously blowing to the national economy. The nationals are sold to the foreigners for sake of the personal gains. They conspire to distribute among themselves the foreign aids and loans acquired from the international organizations such as IMF and the World Bank. The elites both civil and military put the national finance on extravagance for the luxurious life-style.
This begets the negativity into the heart and mind of employees, working in the different departments and ministries. Surprisingly, these young officers and working-servants intending to be honest are silently put to Mort.
Thirdly, the foreign hands secretly involve in deteriorating the target society in every sphere of life. These powers utilize the economic gains as a tool. On one hand, they attempt to deteriorate the economic potential of the target and then the international monitory organizations are geared to influence the power venues of the said sort of particular state.

On the parallel hand, the civil service, the back-bone of every government, is engaged on certain refresher course abroad where they are convinced to become apathetic to the national interests.
The illegal militias, so-called religious organizations and ethnic movements, are also utilized as the last nail in TABOOT of the state. Consequently, the national departments and the responsible personnel become waned. This approach has given the new momentum to the realistic power schemes among the states. Anyhow, under the said circumstances, the corruption reaches an apogee.
