them to take care of themselves and their families. Many government employees fall into
corruption because they are not paid enough and sometimes have to additional
sources of income just to get by. By
paying them a good wage, it discourages them from certain forms of corruption
such as taking bribes since they now can take care of themselves and their
families. Another is cutting red tape.
People get frustrated when it comes to applying for certain documents
from government due to the long process and too much requirements just to get
it. Making the requirements simple and
the process faster discourages people from asking favors from employees to
hasten the process.
