Political leadership sustains and often creates and protects corruption.
Corrupt political leadership makes the spread of corruption at lower levels
relatively easy. A hierarchy of administrative levels is typically associated with
different corrupt transactions. In the case of fiscal incentives, for example,
relatively high-level officials and politicians are more likely to be involved in
corrupt practices. In the case of foreign trade taxes and other routine activities,
lower-level officials are also likely to be involved, sharing their illegal gains
with those higher up in the chain of authority. It is these routine cases of
lower-level corrupt tax practices that ultimately erode public confidence in
governmental institutions. For this reason, these practices are often seen as
more corrosive than abuse of power at higher levels (Asher n.d.) As the power
of a leader evolves into the political management of a service, the independence
of officials is rapidly eroded by the interference of political leaders, and
the risk of corruption increases.Political appointments not only reduce work
efficiency, they also facilitate corruption, as they did in Tanzania, where
entrance into the police or the legal profession required joining the party
(Sedigh and Muganda 1999).
