Title of Article:Corruption in Sierra Leone Author:Candace

Mckim
Direct Quotation:It is not hard to find a Sierra Leonean who has experienced corruption. A survey
carried out in 2013 by Transparency International, an advocacy group, shows the country to have the
highest rates of bribery in the world. Some 84% of respondents admitted to having paid a bribe.
Corruption runs so deep that it is hard to eliminate.

Paraphrase:Corruption in Sierra Leone is a huge issue in Sierra Leone. From the police force, to
the teachers, to the very leaders of the country itself.

Summary:Police in Sierra Leone do not, in general, have an ethical compass that is equal to other
countries. They often accept bribes and even partake in cruel and unnecessary law enforcement.
Teachers, too, abuse a system that often is without punishment for unjust action. If they do not
get what they want or they feel that a student is not listening, they will do things to the
children that, in more modernized countries, is completely unacceptable. Student may endure
torture, capture,or sexual and physical assault.
