The solution to lack of institutional integrity does not lie in more government regulations, nor in appointing more police officers. These steps may help, but if we are to prevent lack of integrity in public institutions the real issue we should be examining is personal ethics. The answer lies in other words within each and every one of us.

The key to institutional integrity is having a social culture with an unwavering commitment to ethical behaviour, and having citizens who support this culture through their words and actions. Bottom line, ethical citizens make ethical societies.

Thus, the real issue we should be examining is making ethical, high integrity behavior our norm, our highest social and personal priority.
