This article addresses the issue of corruption and the economic consequences it may have.
Pakistan, the country that has always had its ups and downs with the US in its political and economic relationship, is faced with a dilemma: it either starts fighting corruption within the government or it loses all the aid by the US.
It is important for the entire country, but especially for the Tribal Areas, to start recovering from the consequences Taliban has had on the region, and start rebuilding its infrastructure. $7.5-billion package of aid signed into law by President Obama in October was supposed to be used as means to do so, however, due to officials corruption, very little of that aid has actually been reaching those underdeveloped areas.

Corruption can be a big problem developing countries. People in poverty are stuck in poverty even though aid is provided because the money received is barely used for the right purposes.
