There is a benevolent school of thought that the flame of anti-corruption never died but merely quivered perilously low in some administrations. There is, on the other hand, a school of thought that most administrations in the past snipped ineffectually at corruption. Perhaps, the point of agreement between these two schools of thought is the suggestion that the practical battle against corruption has gathered momentum and is rising to fever heat. The laws of warfare in this war against corruptions are, however of crucial concern to legal scholars and commentators. Yet the legal arguments are often seen as academic exercises. For the masses living in abject and abysmal poverty, there is wealth everywhere but not a drop to drink. For them, it is a crime against their raison dÂ’etre; it is a crime against humanity. That is the gist of this work: the war on corruption, the laws of warfare, and the poverty-stricken masses who are invariably non-combatants but who are brazenly and ostentatiously denied of their natural, God-given endowment by extremely corrupt and perverse public officers.
