They suggest the state should avoid all compromises and factional interests adopt effective measures for tackling corruption problem. If this indigenous disease cured, it will pave the way for eradication of poverty and other fatal economic and social problems, because, it would be very difficult for an investor to invest in the existence corruption. Now, the people are looking for implementing the commitments made by the leaders of the unity government. The statements of president indicate that they are more serious in war against corruption than ever before and they have already launched jihad against corruption.
