If I were elected Head of State, I would implement the following
anticorruption programme. To begin with, I would appoint dedicated civil
servants who would work honestly for the country: stealing money or
accepting a bribe in exchange for a service is immoral and illegal. Next, I
would pass stringent laws to protect citizens and punish embezzling and
bribe-taking. I cannot tolerate that honest citizens be the victims of corrupt
civil servants.
I would also fight tax evasion and capital flight. Those who earn
a lot of money must pay their taxes and contribute to the development of the
country. Therefore any tax evader would be severely punished by specially
appointed tribunals.
Finally, I would rehabilitate the value of work. Mutual trust is a moral value
that we should teach our children from infancy. A little money earned
honestly brings a lot of happiness and peace of mind.
To conclude, I would tell my fellow countrymen that their role as citizens is
indispensable to fight corruption. No government can succeed without the
help of civil society. Therefore, I urge you again to gather around me to win Use linking words,
this decisive battle. Vote for honesty first, second….etc

Ladies, gentlemen

Some people say that businessmen should apply their own


personal ethical standards when doing business. They tell us that
you need money to make money; that the world of business is a
jungle; and that if we respect ethics, we can undermine the
values of hard work and freedom. Let me tell you that I don’t
agree with these arguments at all. I believe that such arguments
are only excuses to escape the responsibility of business
companies towards the welfare of society as a whole. As far as I
am concerned, I say that ethics has everything to do with
business….

Some people argue that counterfeiting

To write an money and more importantly, that fake goods are

fitted in a car can do to the driver and passengers
when they fail!
Secondly, if we think of fake foods or medicines,
and the criminal procedures used by the people
who make them, we can only remain firm on
buying genuine products. There are several cases
of substitute edibles which have caused
dangerous diseases to people and which have
resulted in long-lasting law suits. The outcomes
could only be compensations paid for irreparable
damage but the moral damage caused to the
victims can never be repaired! Recent figures
released by the European Union show that the
customs are confiscating 100 million fake items
every year.

Thirdly, it is highly immoral to reap where


other people have sown. Pirating products is
indeed imitating other people’s property, and
refusing to engage in a creative act. It is much
more rewarding to turn one’s abilities to creating
new objects of value that could serve the
community, or improve the performance of
existing ones.

Fourthly, pirating objects is by essence


theft, especially when the producer of a fake item
affixes the label of a well-known trade mark on it.
Some countries are notorious for their practice of
counterfeit objects. One wouldn’t like Algerians to

be known for practising this dubious trade, as


much as one wouldn’t like to see them buy cheap,
fake products and head into unsuspected troubles
