Corruption is a scourge upon the development of all countries, undermining public confidence in the institutions of the state. It particularly impedes the progress of countries in transition, misappropriating much-needed capital away form the state. Resources provided through corrupt practices are often transformed into economic and political influence, thus weakening democratic institutions and further expanding corruption in a vicious circle. The defence sector often provides fertile ground for such malign activities due to the culture of secrecy and impunity that shields it from rigorous scrutiny.
