| Abstract: | This study looks at corruption in local government administrations, focusing on the Bonthe District Council in particular and Sierra Leone as a whole. Corruption has a significant negative influence on local government administrations' ability to provide services. Corruption causes resource misallocation, which leaves important services and infrastructure projects with insufficient funding. The study primarily uses qualitative research methods to review the subject matter and investigate how corruption at the Bonthe District Council is affecting the district's development, drawing heavily from primary and secondary sources as well as other available literature. Important members of the council as well as participants in the research community were interviewed. The study's conclusions reveal that corruption has resulted in administrative inefficiencies in the provision of services, the diversion of funds intended for public services to private individual projects, the creation of barriers to public service utilization, the stifling of economic growth and development, and a lack of accountability and transparency. The research recommended stepping up efforts to combat corruption, enforcing the law, and expediting court cases. It also suggested keeping a close eye on and assessing council initiatives, involving the public in raising awareness of the activities of councils, and safeguarding whistleblowers. |
