It is unpleasant to acknowledge that some of our past leaders amassed fortunes through corruption, such as leveraging their positions for personal benefit, bribery, fund mismanagement, and contract price inflation. One of the most significant strategies to eradicate corruption in our society today is through motivation and good leadership. It is well established in our society today that a leader who is concerned about the needs of the people can achieve effective and efficient results at all levels of endeavor.
