When we are born, we inherent the right to life given to us by the gods but the cunning gods never grant us the right to a just and fair life. We try to overcome this defect by making certain social institutions like law, police, courts etc. All these are primarily made to inject the concept of justice in our life and in the society. The judiciary, the principal system present in all the societies, created to mainly to fight injustice, lawlessness and uphold what is just, right and fair. This system if personified as a human being tends to become corrupt and decay or like any normal human being is born with some imperfections.

Perhaps the way to make an impact on corruption in society is to be able to argue that eschewing bribery is part of the package of ‘good behaviour’ that is expected from the devotee. Pope Benedict XVI, the head of the Catholic Church, paid a visit to Angola and other countries in Africa during March. In his speeches, he made the usual appeals for more human rights, eradication of poverty, and also took a stand against corruption. He called on the people and government to ‘excise corruption once and for all’ in Angola and in the various countries he visited.
