On corruption

On corruption

I would like to comment on Ms. Donna K. Woodward's two articles on corruption in international aid organizations published in The Jakarta Post on Sept. 2 and Sept. 3, as my request for "ethically approved and safe actions in facing the graft". Such actions, for example, might have been implemented during FD Roosevelt's administration.

The things printed in the two articles are the bureaucratically set up Indonesian-approved ways of spending the money.

One Westerner wrote in a book on how, basically, bureaucracy differs significantly from Naziism. Bureaucracy would, of course, be supported by bureaucrats that, in turn, would be incomparably wilder than Hitler's.

A "so what" expression is so well-known to bureaucrats regarding a no-show employee kind of case.

So, is there any quality-assured, crime-proof vest to fight such corruption-prone cases? By the way, I believe you all know why and when the Great Pretender was so famous.
