Promoting Truth, Trust, and Transparency to Combat Corruption

Since time immemorial, human society is following several norms, and values, do and don’ts, ethics, and alike, though not in similar form as in the past also with their changed form. All these characteristics have been considered as the fine-tuner of human society as a whole. We have seen children restricted to enter their house with playing equipment/things, young and even adults in any family not allowed to bring others properties and money without having a source of income, young and adults also not to have a company with bad people (e.g. drunker, gambler, the visiting prostitute and promiscuous, and having other bad habits).

This is the reason, our family and social institutions are strong somehow even more than global institutions. Here it is to be noted that as the individuals of the family are repeatedly restricted on committing the prohibited activities in different types of social institutions and organizations are not restricted through strict complying methods as we can also see several examples related to this. 

Sometimes even the state has to impose rules against some of such activities as once American College Students during the regime of President Obama were legally restricted to drink beer/alcohol due to disturbance created by them in the same public places. Apparently, drinking of beer/alcohol by the students outside the home indicates that (i) the students were either strictly prohibited to drink at their home or (ii) were not restricted to do so. Generally, individuals from the family used to be tuned on such do and don’t behavior whereas such practices seem to be less in other social institutions due to the complexity of the organization, the involvement of people from different backgrounds,s, and tasks to be performed by each member. 

This could be among the reason that most of the corruption, fraud, and cheating activities occur in different organizations like; UN Organizations, International Financial Organizations, big trade, and business institutions, etc. There could be several measures to address the issues. However, compulsory and regular following and arresting corruption activities and orientation and training to the staff involved in different institutions. The type of training required and eligible groups to be categorized by relevant institutions in collaboration with the Government line agency related to fraud and corruption. This may be helpful in creating the situation by promoting Truth, Trust, and Transparency as envisaged in the speech delivered by ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa during the occasion of the International Anticorruption Conference, December 1, 2020. However, this can be possible only in the conditions when the pickpocketers/frauds/cheaters within the institution will not be considered and privileged from the process as the earners of the institutions. If wrongdoers and corrupts are also useful for you then it is better to collaborate in the jails within and even outside the country where there may be several members experts and earners too, it is also in the sense that it may be easier to handle maskless faces than the cheap double standard Life. But the result in long term will be like; "As you reap as you shaw" as obvious in the institutions across the world with consequences affecting all, but we don't want to be suffered and should be suffered any more from fraud and corruption.
