The Military And Political Corruption In Sub Saharan Africa

Authors : Bahouli Loubna .

Abstract

The study's hypothesis—that there is a connection between military institutions and levels of corruption in African nations—is supported by research. By examining two key points, it becomes evident how credible this theory is. The first is the role of armies in containing corruption and attempting to stop its spread by toppling the regime that harbors it and the individuals who support corrupt behaviour. The second is how the military contributes to the spread of corruption by abusing jobs and using public resources for personal gain and the advancement of personal interests. As a result, when their terms came to an end, corruption levels were frequently higher than when they had taken office.
