Why Did the U.S. Fail to Fight Corruption in Afghanistan Effectively? (commentary)
. "According to [a report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction],  the U.S. failed to grasp the importance of combating corruption as part of a broader effort to improve security and stability, with policymakers and military leaders instead viewing anticorruption as a competing goal that had to be traded off against the seemingly more pressing security goals."

'Corruption is not just about money'
.  Former chairman of Transparency International-India PS Bawa said in a lecture that there was a non-monetary aspect to corruption—an official might be honest, but if he is incompetent and does not discharge his duties, then he is taking a salary and enjoying the perks of office for nothing.
