It is arduous for them related to lacking material possessions that those impecunious needed to give attention by the government officials,by  giving more work to those jobless,budget for education in public schools.But corruption intends to spread and straighten out with dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery--abusing of entrusted power for private gain.

Worldwide, bribery alone is estimated to involve over 1 trillion US dollars annually.A state of unrestrained political corruption is known as a kleptocracy, literally meaning "rule by thieves".

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first use in English occurs in the publication Indicator of 1819: "Titular ornaments, common to Spanish kleptocracy."

We know that corruption will not disappear from society. Our efforts are meant to restrict corruption and to protect as much as possible the poor and weak in our societies. In the end all corruption costs are paid by the consumer and the tax-payer. They need protection.Fighting corruption takes place in many theaters':such as political reforms, including the financing of political parties and elections;economic reforms, regulating markets and the financial sector;
financial controls: budget, bookkeeping,reporting;
Public supervision: media, parliament, local administrators and councils, registration;
free access to information and data;maintaining law and order;improving and strengthening of the judicial system;institutional reforms: Tax systems, customs, public administration in general; whistleblowers and civil society organisations (NGO's).

In the City of Demons is extremely difficult of the political corruption is a hidden phenomenon in our societies.Both parties in exchange of power for privileges want to keep their transaction secret.That makes it so difficult to establish how wide and deep corruption penetrated our economy and social life.
