Abstract
Although concern with corruption is nothing new, it has gained greater prominence
in recent times. This is due mainly to the changing context of public governance and the growing awareness of the damaging effects of corruption on the society and general well-being.1 Globally there is a far better appreciation of the devastating effects of corruption today than in the past. This explains why preventing corruption and managing integrity has become a key priority of governments around the world.
