Why is it that whenever we hear of corruption, it is only about the receiving end? Those giving the ghoos get away scot free. No one talks about these national parasites who have cultivated and encouraged corruption among greedy officials. Such is the environment in our ministries, departments and institutions that even 'clean' people cannot remain spotless without being affected by the institutionalised corruption around them. Ghoos-taking and ghoos-giving should be taken as equal crime and the perpetrators punished equally.
