I am asking based on the country where i come from. It's sad to say no one cares about doing it right anymore, everyone is carried away by what the stand to gain, their immediate benefit not minding the impact in the near future.

In a country where everyone is been monetised and selfishly driven will good governance be enough to fight corruption. I ask this because it has gone beyond the sphere of the political stakeholder as it dwells even in the cabal of almost every citizen. making good governance will require stepping on toes.

By 2023 there will be a transition of power and if the choice of the people eventually emerges as the winner, following the current state of an entire country i ask will good leadership be enough to fight corruption in a country where everyone is corrupt?

No leadership in itself is not enough. Systems must be designed so that there are strong incentives to act in favour of the collective and acting against is strongly discouraged. One of the keys for that is accountability, the individual knows that he is very likely to have to respond for their actions. It requires leadership to build that type of system and many times they do not come out right.

Good leadership is not enough to fight corruption. They need honesty in carrying out their assigned tasks, especially when it comes to people. Every state official has been sworn not to break the rules, but because of their greedy nature, they break them and even try to gain more power.

If honesty is still not with them, the government will still be corrupt and try to control everything, even if it means they will hurt the people.

According to you, good leadership is not enough, leaders need honesty to fight corruption but they are not honest. They lie and they break the rules which they make. All the things you said are true, but when we talk about honesty, honesty is a key attribute of a good leader. If there is good leadership, that means there is honesty. If there is no honesty, it means the goodness is not upto the standard in this context. That is something I want to point out.

Sadly, good leadership alone isn’t nearly enough to hinder and/ fight corruption.
In order to effectively fight corruption, there must also be accountability and over sight in government spending that should be available to public view upon request. A government not accountable to its citizens would get away with almost everything.
There should also be a vibrant opposition to check mate and keep the government in power on its toes. The press is also instrumental in holding the government accountable and should be independent from government interference. That way, the press would be free to investigate and expose any fraudulent and/ illegal acts by the government.
With these factors in place, there might just be a shot at fighting corruption.

I think accountability falls under the description of good leadership. For a government to be termed good, it has to be accountable, transparent and honest.

But, It may not be enough if the leader is actually good if there's a bad egg in his cabinet. Because should something happen, fingers would be pointed at the leader.

Step 1 to fighting corruption is getting Nancy Pelosi out of office. There’s a chance she can be retired for good in the upcoming election and for the sake of America I hope it happens. Of course now that they’re talking about trading bans I’m sure she’s probably already getting to retire anyway. If there’s a politician that deserves jail time, it’s her. Martha Stewart going to jail over one insider trade while Pelosi has made a career from it is wild.

There is word that Trump is eyeing her position as an alternative to POTUS.

Yes, this because all the mentioned injustice and selfishness are a as a result of bad leadership, if the leaders are selfish they will not satisfy the community with they are expected to do. I hope the transformation of power will favour you in your country so that it take another shape for goo. Actually Good Governance can fight against corruption.

The reason why corruption exists in bad leadership is because their is no law that is strongly against corruption that is why people take things for granted and corruption still continues.
If their are laws against people that are corrupt, the rate of corruption will drastically reduce.

A good government can prevent corruption, but doing so takes time and is not an easy task. If the nation is as corrupt as you said, fighting corruption will require extensive grassroots scrutiny. The majority of corrupt individuals in the nation usually become corrupt from a young age when they are exposed to meager amounts of money in a position they must have held and profited from it.

The corruption would have already been ingrained in them before they grew up to become adults and well-known government officials, and they couldn't live without it again. From an early age, children should be taught about corruption and warned to stay away from it.

We need Trump back, to get rid of the gross corruption of the Democrat leaders and Biden.

What is your definition about good leadership ?
A good leadership is always against corruption and fights against corruptions. Any leadership that is unable to fight corruption can't count itself to be good.

This reminds me of chinese president Xi Jinping.
He said in his campaign, for the anti-corruption movement. this movement seems to run smoothly without any pros and cons, the main reason is that the center of power and political power is only in one point.
In one year of his tenure, he has convicted many people involved in corruption including senior officials and several military officers.
this shows Xi jinping's determination and strength despite the controversy to suppress the opposition. however, what is certain is that he is able to bring his country to be more developed and very developed.

Speaking of corruption, in general corruption occurs when there is an opportunity, abuse of power is one of the causes of corruption. however, a good leader will take responsibility and fight corruption.

You own the pen

Good leadership can annihilate corruption at once but most of us don't really know what good leadership is. so, we ended up voting for the wrong person whom we thought a good leader, and most of the time we don't have such candidates, and often we fall into someone if not the worse corrupt leader than the previous one, we voted a person the same as him. A good leader has a system to tackle this corruption and completely defeat it through studying and taking action until no corruption will remain in his administration. A good leader will be followed by all of his workers until the person who has the easiest job in the community will follow him and obey him and a bad leader is the opposite of all of that.

I want to say yes but it will be little dreamer

In my country there is a idiom "fish stinks from the head". If the leader fight for his citizens he will get progress. But was it enough for the all corruption? Absolutely isn't! For instance, many public institutions in my country are corrupted and need to be cleaned up and completely overhauled in order to progress. People expect great success in a short time. However, years of corruption will not be resolved in a short time. Yes, you can be successful in a long time, but it seems impossible in a short time. And in my country no one can be patient therefore i will say no

Good leadership is suitable for rehabilitating the collective mind of individuals in society. This is suitable for establishing a good society on the ruins of a society destroyed by corruption.

Good leadership contributes to the establishment of a coherent system through deterrent legislation and laws. At the same time, the society elevates through the establishment of values that reject corruption and the corrupt

I want to answer you based on the context of what you wrote and what is happening in the country in question.
According to your post, good governance is not enough to fight corruption. It takes a man who will be undemocratic to some extent to fight corruption. In a democratically corrupt country, if a good leader arrests a corrupt person, the law doesn't permit him to sentence the person, he must pass the arrested through the magistrate which is assumed to be corrupt also. The magistrate will accept bribe and discharge the person inside the same society.
The good leader will catch another person and the circle repeats like that, so it takes more than goodness to fight corruption.

yes,, good leadership of course will reduce corruption .. but it will not eliminate corruption in the country .. even in a country that adheres to communist ideology like China which hates corruption, corrupt practices can still be found, but it is not as massive as it is in African countries.. to eradicate corruption can't just be with the good leader, but it must also start from people's awareness to fight corruption, but of course it is very difficult to achieve

In the old days, like the times of monarchies, it was common for wealthy and powerful people to be advisors to the king. It was the same before in the roman senate and it was like that later, mostly up to the early 20th century. Why is being rich and powerful important? Because such people already have all they need and can dedicate their time to the state.
Communism tried put it all backwards giving important positions to lower classes and you can observe a similar situation in Africa and South America where poor people get their votes through revolutionary slogans. When you allow people who had nothing all their lives to rule you can be sure they'll try to use their position to finally feel what it's like to have some money.

Good leadership is not enough to fight corruption in every setting and to fight corruption the people themself need to have the seal of putting an end to corruption and work towards it because most of these so-called leader are not ruling the country.
They are all into cults and whatever their godfather says is the final.
If any country wants to fight corruption they need to give the people a government that works for them not them working for the government by implementing a constitution that will make it happen and also prosecute all the corrupted leaders fairly.
