Abstract
Corruption is
a constant in societies and occurs in all civilizations. Due to the high
corruption levels around the world, Government and its ministries within
Caribbean countries continue to be tremendously impacted as they depend on
outside investors to boost the economies of the countries. This study looks at an overview of the high levels of
corruption displayed within the public sector of the Caribbean country, Guyana.
In Guyana, economic hardship, institutional weaknesses, criminal justice
inefficiencies, as well as racial fractures in society provide fertile grounds
for corruption (Robinson, Dena 2012; pg 3). This
paper will seek to highlight the causes of corruption in the public sector, the
ministries in which corruption is evidently shown and the factors that contribute
mostly to corruption within the Government Ministries in the country. This
study will also seek to give an overview of the compliance measures that are currently
in place to eradicate corruption and the effectiveness of said compliance
measures. In order to carry out this research proposal, we have decided to use a
sample which focuses on the public sector of Guyana. A non-probability sampling
type was used. We opted to complete a questionnaire to receive honest/anonymous
feedback from persons working in the public sector of Guyana. This information will be analyzed
in our data analysis section of the paper which will be used to support the
hypotheses as stated below.
