Political corruption has far-reaching implications for governance, eroding public trust and undermining the legitimacy of political institutions. When officials engage in corrupt practices, it diverts public resources and can lead to inefficient government operations. Moreover, corruption often exacerbates social inequality, as decisions favoring the wealthy can marginalized communities. This environment hinders economic growth and can provoke civil unrest. The pervasive culture of corruption also demotivates citizens from participating in political processes, further weakening the democratic fabric. Ultimately, political corruption threatens the foundation of good governance and hampers societal progress.
