520 _aA number of significant factors have combined leading to the current debilitating levels of corruption in the country. Since the decade of 70s the political executive is not countered with any checks and balances, and had unbridled authority without effective over-sight.Besides the civil services allowed themselves to be infiltrated and dominated and now silenced by the political class, who used all possible allurements for their ends.
