For more than two decades, the nation has been plagued by political corruption. It is a serious obstacle to the development of civil society. The effects have been most severe on the poor, who have been marginalized and who suffer from corruption.

The problem is not limited to the political sphere. Non-politicians and politicians from all walks of life have been involved in corrupt practices.

The most important step in solving this problem is the adoption of a comprehensive code of conduct for all public officials. The people need to know what actions are deemed acceptable and what are not. It is only then that corruption can be eradicated.

Voter Registration is a tool that can help bring about a more transparent and accountable democracy. It allows the people to cast their votes and to be informed about the candidates' promises.
