Step One. Corruption Law
There should be a certain corruption law. A law that will make every leaders such as the president, vice president, senators, congressmen, head of different government agencies or any government employees afraid to steal government funds.
Step Two. Hard Punishment
There are two types of punishment in this world. There is a light punishment that will not teach a criminal anything. A criminal or a corrupt leader will steal government funds over and over if he will just in prison for 5 years or worst, one week.
And the second punishment is the hardest that can teach everyone a lesson. The lifetime imprisonment or the death penalty. Do you think death penalty or lifetime imprisonment is appropriate for “corruption cases”? I think yes!
Step Three. Salary Increase
This may not be effective compare to death penalty and lifetime imprisonment. If the government employees or leaders has high salary or high income, they will think twice to steal government funds. Give government employees what they want. They want more, give more!
They will keep on stealing government funds because they are not contented on what they earn. Unless, they are greedy and self-centered, they don’t care for high salary!
Conclusion
These three will be the best solution if you want to stop corruption in the government. Don’t just choose one, the “corruption law”. Try to make a law and beak it without getting punished. People will only laugh at you. Create a law and create a hard punishment for those people who didn’t follow the law.
If you combined the three, there will be a perfect solution to stop corruption. Imagine, how can a government employees steal government funds if he is contented in his salary and he will be afraid to do so because he know if he will be in prison for lifetime, and worst, deal with a death penalty punishment.
