What happens when the money meant to build a bridge, improve a hospital, educate children, or develop a city ends up lining the pockets of those in power?
Corruption at the highest levels is rarely a simple exchange of cash. It can hide behind inflated contracts, manipulated tenders, unfinished projects, political influence, and the misuse of taxpayers' money. The numbers may run into crores, but the real cost is paid by ordinary people.
Through a compelling collection of stories inspired by incidents that occur around us, The Perils of Corruption: Stories of Lives Destroyed by a Broken System explores the many faces and shades of corruption, and the damage it leaves in its wake. Behind every failed project, wasted public fund, or abuse of power are people whose lives are affected.
It's time you realise that corruption is closer to you than you ever imagined!
