Getting Rid of Corruption in the Philippines, A Worthwhile vision,
A Hong Kong anticorruption expert Tony Man-Wai Kwok , Monday expressed confidence that the Philippines could rid its government bureaucracy of deeply ingrained corruption. Kwok said Hong Kong shed its image as a corrupt base for business in the 1960s to become one of the least corrupt places in the world. "Corruption was a way of life for Hong Kong," he said. "You needed to pay a bribe if you wanted to do business and to get government service. Now, you don't have to because the culture has changed."
In uprooting corruption, Tony says,
"it is necessary to focus on three basic activities:
• deterrence -- forming a large, powerful investigative body to go after transgressors
• prevention -- establishing a team of management experts that would plug the loopholes and suggest reforms to achieve more transparency and accountability
• education -- a committee of experts to teach the value of honesty and ethics to all students. "
