Dr Qahtan al-Zabidi writes on programmed corruption saying corruption is of various kinds and fighting it is not an easy task. However if there is the will, no one can block its way because human should is obedient and God has created it and sowed in it the love for the good. It is an established fact that the human with all their different orientations long for virtue, order and justice, why then we find some who have deviated from the food values of the society and replaced them by childish acts?
We are facing a very significant issue and calls for joining all efforts and energies to confront the wrong conducts and let us begin from the public service. The ministers, for instance, are they aware of what is going on in their ministries, at the offices of their ministries?
Addressing the ministers, the writer says if you are keen on the work you have to visit the offices that are close to your headquarters before those which are in far places. Leaving the citizen wasting his time in going to this office or that is crime punishable by the law. It is not a mistake or guilt that an employee goes to manage some of his needs but there must be someone to take up his duties it is not acceptable when an employee is absent to cause hindering dealings of tens or hundreds of citizens, especially that some of them may have come from remote governorates and towns. This aspect of corruption must be reformed before the bigger corruption. The ministers should pay field visits to their institutions to see by themselves how things are run there.
