1.0 INTRODUCTION
According to Max Weber he defined bureaucracy as an organisation with a hierarchy of paid, full-time officials who formed a chain of command and these are concerned with the business of administration with controlling, managing and co-ordinating a complex series of task. Bureaucracy is a system of control, it is a hierarchical organisation in which superiors strictly control and discipline the activities of the subordinates. ORUEBOR, A.A (2007:142) According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (2000) defines corruption as “dishonest or illegal behaviour, especially of people in authority; the act or effect or making somebody change from moral to immoral standards of behaviour” corruption is a deviation from following the normal accepted standard of behaviour by a public official in order to serve social economic or political interest.
