Speech on Corruption (5 minutes)

Good morning to one and all present here. It is rightly said that your speech only becomes well if your tongue says
what your heart feels. So, here I am to talk about the current and worldwide ongoing issue and enlighten all of you
with a speech on Corruption! 

In one aspect or the other, we all have come across the word ‘Corruption.’ According to political ideology’s definition,
‘Corruption is a form of dishonesty or criminal offence undertaken by a person or organization entrusted with a
position of authority, to acquire illicit benefit or abuse power for one’s private gain.’ Seems lengthy and confusing,
right? Most simply, corruption is dishonest behaviour practised by authorities such as managers or government
officials. This is how people with power rules the world, thereby violating certain people’s rights and privileges. 

It is said that time changes everything.  But here it is, this dishonest act and the unsatisfying term hasn’t changed for
years on end. It is still prevalent. The main reason for corruption in India is the link between bureaucrats, politicians,
and criminals.

Gone are the days when bribes were given when things are wrong. Presently, bribes receive to hide the right stuff.
May it be a minor issue or a life-threatening one, younger child or an adult man, school-going boy to a working person
everyone has seen and has fallen prey to corruption. These days, even if a person isn’t qualified enough for a public
sector job, he can quickly get it by spending money and giving bribes to higher officials. 

Well, what is a speech on corruption without some examples? So here are some things which you must have
experienced at some point in your life. Have you ever applied for your or your child’s admission to a big reputed
college? You can observe in a few of those colleges that if you aren’t eligible for admission, then a bribe is the door
opener. Sounds pathetic right? But this is the sad truth of these days. From getting admission to reputed colleges to
being elected with numerous votes, everything unless more minor or more ways is induced with corruption.

But the most significant and worst type of corruption is Political Corruption. In legal terms, Political corruption or Mal
Politics uses powers by government officials or their network contacts for illegitimate private gain. This type is the
most concerning one as it erodes the fundamental value of the law that governs and regulates society creating a
massive mess in the country as a whole.

Now you all might be thinking that this happens only in the well-established and sophisticated cities, but that’s not the
case. It occurs throughout India. Metropolitan cities, towns, and villages are all part of this evil game, and it is the
common man who gets unnecessarily trapped in the dishonest strategies of this game. The heights of corruption have
reached such an extent that strict law can also reduce but not abolish this corrupt mindset. 

Causes of Corruption
Any speech on corruption can never be complete without looking at the causes of corruption. We often hear people
saying, ‘Everything happens for a reason. This states that and Everything happening around us is driven by a strong
desire or motivation behind it. In the same way, corruption also has some hidden cause behind it. Enlisted are the
causes of corruption:

 Greed of money
 Poverty
 Lack of values and ethics
 Lack of education
 High level of bureaucracy and inefficient administrative structure 
 Political instability
 Gender Inequality 
Ways to Reduce Corruption 
Now, when we have raked up this sensitive topic in my speech on corruption, I must bring to your notice certain
measures to reduce this problem. “Every problem has a solution……But it depends whether you want to solve it or
not”. It depends on us if we have to stand against this evil act or in support of it. People usually stay silent in such
situations, but one must remember that mere silence leads to acceptance. We must unite together and try to reduce
corruption. Enlisted are the various ways in which we can reduce corruption to a greater extent.

 People should start reporting cases of corruption without any delay.


 All the government, non-government, public, private, educational should unite together and stand against
corruption.
 The media and advertising sector should educate people against corruption regularly.
 We should provide students with additional courses to build better citizens for tomorrow.

To conclude, corruption is making life worse for the commoner. But, he is the only one who can raise his voice and
bring change. We should start from ourselves and change our thinking of ‘Make a Change to that of ‘Be a change. So,
let’s come together and stand in favour of the commoner and not corruption. Let’s decide to be a loyal and valuable
citizen of our country.

Long Speech

Hello to all the esteemed members of the audience. Today I wish to share with
you some of my views on the prevailing practice of corruption. 

As a much used and prevalent term, many of us must have often wondered as to
how we define corruption. Many among us must also have been intrigued as to
what can actually be categorised as corruption. Well, to put it in words, we can
define corruption as any sort of practice that allows the party or parties partaking
in an inordinate benefit or advantage. Many-a-often, corruption is seen to
disproportionately favour the outcome of an event, which would not have been
the case otherwise.
Various forms of media have often quoted the term ‘corruption’ in relation to
powerful people, organisations, political parties and even justice systems.
Corruption is what allows some people to escape from the clutches of law and
order. Some of the common forms of corruption that we often witness include
bribery, money laundering, peddling, extortion, patronage, embezzlement,
electoral fraud, etc. Within an organisation, the practice of other forms of
corruption such as nepotism, cronyism, etc. is also prevalent. 
Political parties are also seen practising corruption in order to gain influence over
the people. 
Corruption prevents the prevalence of justice. As a result of this malpractice,
deserving people are often robbed of apt opportunities. This practice is often
seen to have a domino effect as it gives rise to a chain of events triggered by a
single act. In other words, corruption brings about death to democracy. People
engaging in corruption often turn a blind eye towards justice systems touted as
an important pillar of democracy. The outcome of corruption, which is usually in
favour of the more powerful section of society, also leads people to lose faith in
the democratic process. 
Now, that we have discussed corruption in detail, we should also make ourselves
aware of how we can prevent the same from taking place. Effective law
enforcement is often the key to halt this practice. This ensures that corrupt
officials are being punished for their crimes. Other measures of curbing
corruption include the practice of effective journalism, transparency on the part of
the government in terms of policies and other norms, strengthened roles of
auditing agencies, etc. The citizens must also be strengthened to raise questions
and the government should also be made accountable in order to put an end to
corrupt practices. 

Conclusion

As citizens and human beings, it is our responsibility to see to it that we do not


indulge in any type of corruptive behaviour. Great visionaries have time and
again stressed on the fact that one of the prime means to bring about peace and
end chaos is by giving up corrupt practices. Beside limiting ourselves, we must
also see to it that corruption and unjust practices in our vicinity do not go
unreported and work with the law enforcement in this regard. Only by
establishing a corruption-free society, we can make this world a better place to
live in. 

Short Speech
Speech on Corruption

A warm welcome to all the lovely ladies and gentlemen. I stand before you today
to deliver a few lines on the topic of corruption.
Corruption, a term we often come across, implies the employment of
malpractices often resulting in benefit or advantage to the party who employs the
same. In various world scenarios, people practising corruption are often in
possession of ill-gotten gains which allow certain or numerous circumstances to
work in their favour. In our day-to-day life, we all must have come across corrupt
people in business, organisations, politics and more. 
There is no one conformed form of corruption. It can range from anywhere from a
small bribe to nepotism, patronage, extortions, etc. As often witnessed,
corruption often loops in other crimes under its aegis. Due to the practising of
corruption, money laundering, human and drug trafficking, kidnapping are also on
the rise. Various political parties are also seen to indulge in corruption for
harnessing power. Corruption has always been one of the causes for the lack of
development of the weaker sections of the society as the practice has been
known to favour the rich and powerful.
   
Conclusion

I would like to conclude by saying that corruption is a hindrance to democracy


and the justice system. As a nation striving to advance on all fronts, be it social or
economic, we must ensure that we abstain from all kinds of corrupt practices. We
should also be vigilant about the corruption prevailing in our society and do
everything in our power to ensure a just and equal society is being established.

Effects of Corruption
Political effect: Corruption becomes a major roadblock for the rule of law and democracy. The
political system loose its legitimacy when power is used for private advantage.

Economical effect: It depletes national wealth. The betterment of the communities and societies
are compromised for the benefit of the profit of some officials, therefore, leads to the misuse of
national resources.

Social effect: The community or society gives up trust in the system. This makes it even more
challenging to remove corruption from the system.

Environmental effect: Corruption results in the degradation and exploitation of precious natural
resources. This results in turbulence in the ecological systems.

Ways to fight Corruption


There are five ways of fighting corruption.

Effective law enforcement is the key to ensure the corrupt culprit is punished. For this purpose,
we need a strong legal framework.

Steps focussing on improving financial management and strengthening the role of auditing
agencies will help in curbing corruption. This will include transparent and participatory
budgeting by local communities and local governments.

The tradition of government openness, freedom of the press, transparency, and access to
information help in curbing corruption.

Strengthening citizens’ demand and empowering them to make government accountable is a


great approach to build mutual trust between the government and the citizens.

The international financial system should be under the scanner to stop money laundering by
corrupt officials. Hence, major financial institutes need to put a check to stop their banks and
allied financial centers across the globe from accepting illegal flows of money.

Conclusion
To sum it up, Corruption is the biggest evil of any society. All necessary steps must be taken to
eliminate this evil. Not only the ones with power but at times even the weaker section of the
society tend to become a culprit in this.
I hope that from now on every individual will strictly oppose and prevent corrupt activities from
occurring anywhere around us. Thus, this will ensure the complete socio-economic

Corruption
Is it corruption that makes me blind or am I blind because I do not wish to see corruption

How can you represent me, when you all want, is to have more money than fish in the sea,
Corruption constricts you, but im as free as can be
Blue collar citizen  who works as hard as they can , white collar worker trying to turn that color tan.
No hate in my heart, just disappointed you see, leaders of my land could give a **** about me.
What ever happened to doing what was right and not for the green,
representing me is not being on tv and simply wanting to be seen.
You don’t representing anything , but corruption and greed. People working hard, they have real mouths to feed.
Now Im not saying we shouldn’t help the world and all the others in need, but what happens when we become the
ones who have begun to bleed.
People in the streets . Citizens of our land. Speak up . Rise up. Do whatever that you can.
Dark is to corrupt as light is to right. Do what you can and protect your right to fight.
But the words that I say, isn’t about the fists or the bullets we could spray.
Use your mind, use your words , free flowing like the birds.
Never miss an opportunity to say yes at becoming great, reach out, grab it, this could be your fate! But don’t miss a
chance and make that fate late.
Never be an option , always be the choice. Drive out the dark , and always raise your voice.
Together as one we rise to become something that’s bigger than our minds can imagine.
Or we could be remembered as beautiful mess that never was
New
They came through our Forest
And spread through it their stone,
Through this haven
They thought they could take.
And the Little ones ran,
Afraid and confused -
The play-place was changed,
But it was their mistake.

And the Little ones thought,


Burn the corruption,
Burn the corruption,
Light it on fire,
Light it on fire!

The blind mute child came,


And he tried to tell,
So the Watcher came
To see what they'd done.
He brought the rest,
The ones who could help,
But all were needed
So to this scene they would run.

And everyone thought,


Burn the corruption,
Burn the corruption,
Light it, light it,
Ablaze!
Ablaze!

So they all gathered round


And trapped the intruders;
They stood in the way
Of the corruption's path.
The New Ones were stopped,
Surrounded, even,
And they could do nothing
To escape their wrath.

And they stood and chanted,


Burn the corruption, and
**** those who bring it!
Light them on fire,
Ablaze!
Ablaze!

And the sword of the Angels


Was just over their heads.
They cowered and looked up
So hopelessly.
But the loneliest one,
Who saw so much loss before,
Stood in its way,
And helped them to see.

And they learned they knew not what they had done, and realized,
*End the corruption, but
Forgive those who brought it.
Light it on fire,
Ablaze!
Ablaze!
Cleanse the forests, and
Cleanse those who hurt them,
The flames will renew,
Forgive,
Forget.
