Rampant corruption engulfing us

28,917 BCS examinees now have to wait for another leakage-prone examination. But till then we are to count the cost in the form of time, money and labour. A poor country like ours can not afford this wanton wastage of public money and valuable time. The reason why question leakage has become so rampant and frequent is not far to be found. For long we have been recruiting, appointing and giving promotion on the basis of bribe and political affiliation compromising merit. As a result, corrupt people have firmly entrenched themselves in every sensitive government offices, thereby destroying the atmosphere of their smooth functioning. On the other hand, students, who obtained certificates easily from the mushrooming private universities, are replacing genuine certificate holders. So in the absence of honest and efficient people in different sectors, all kinds of dishonest practice are spreading like wildfire and destroying our prospect for a brighter future.
