" It is additionally stated that the results of corruption are that public resources are channeled to the rich while the poor suffer because "their access to public services, such as public health and education, is reduced while drugs and textbooks are stolen from public facilities and sold privately and while doctors and teachers have high rates of absenteeism from their public jobs and sell their services privately." (Bonn, 2005) Bonn reports that the faith of citizen's in the government is greatly lowered as the government corruption deters both foreign and domestic investments which are needed in Bangladesh and that the government further 'undermines the ability of Bangladesh's development partners to sustain their support for the country."

IV. EMPIRICAL STUDIES

Mauro (1995) made an examination of the results of corruption through use of the Business International (1984) index and growth rates of per capital GDP spanning the years from 1960 to 1985. (Summer and Heston, 1988) Stated is that through use of these variables it was shown by Mauro (1995:702-3) that "a one-standard deviation decrease in the corruption index significantly increases the annual growth rate of GDP per capita by 0.8%." (Akai, Horiuchi and Sakata, 2005)

It is just as clear that just a little bureaucratic corruption goes a long way as reported by Mauro that only "one standard deviation decrease in the corruption index actually increases the GDP per capita in a country significantly. The bureaucratic system that is not corrupt has much to offer a country while a corrupt bureaucracy drains the country of growth potential and hope.
