History of Anti-Corruption Day
The International anti-corruption day was first started on December 9 of 2003 by the General Assembly of United Nations as a way fo fight against the corruption and to improve awareness to the people about the corruption. The official reason to create this day was concerned about threads set up by the corruption to the stability and security of society, value of democracy, ethical value, justice and the rule of law. Since the day was first held, the United Nations development programme and united nations office on drugs and crime have said that the intolerance towards corruption has grown rapidly. This is proven by the increased number of politicians and chief executives those are convicted and tried for the crime.
