Yeah this is the typical answer if you don’t think about the realities.
corruption is not the cause but a mere symptom of the disease called “poverty” and bad economy.
In other words, corruption can be termed as $hite that comes out of the “business end” of things.
Yes corruption is smelly, awful, terrible looking, just like $hite.
And if you focus too much on $hite or play with it for long time, or worse you try to stop it completely, then either the $hite analyst would die of being in the unhealthy environment, or the patient would simply die due to the closure of the “business end”.
Societies suffer not because of corruption aka their waste, but the net intake.
In other words,
for a healthy male, you need 2500+ calories a day. and a portion of that gets digested and the rest goes out as $hite aka corruption.
If a male is sick, and we know that he is only getting 200 calories, then the first thing to do is to figure out how to provide him the needed 2300 calories instead of raising slogans to fix his $hite.
Why because in the worst case he is wasting all 200 calories. And if you recover them all (impossible) still he is deficient of 2300 calories.
Similarly Pakistan needs at least 300 billion dollars a year to have a decent life for its citizens. But it is living on 30 billion a year. And thus deficient of 270 billions.
If you assume the corruption is 100 % (which is not the actual case but just a worst case scenario), even then you would only recover 30 billions, and Pakistan still is deficient of 270 billions.
Got it?
