Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze the various types of corruption that have been prevalent in Egypt over the past eight years. It was conducted due to the increasing role of the country’s leadership in fighting these types of corruption. For 60 years, the political structure in Egypt had remained relatively static. Consequently, several circumstances contributed to Egypt’s revolution on January 25, 2011. Moreover, Egypt has embarked in a comprehensive National Anti-corruption Strategy since 2019. So, the objective of the study was to gather information about the various levels of corruption in Egypt, including the role of the government and its agencies in fighting it. Through a series of online interviews, the study would be able to gather important information about the country’s civil society and public officials. Through a qualitative approach, the study was able to identify the various factors that contribute to corruption in Egypt. It also conducted an online interview to collect the necessary data. Through content analysis, as well as reviewing the literature (e.g. Badean 2013; Hakal 2017 & Nouioua 2020) the researcher was able to identify the various sentiments expressed by the participants regarding the role of the Egyptian government in fighting corruption. The results indicated a strong belief that the country’s leadership has a vital role to play in fighting corruption. The results of the survey indicated that the majority of the respondents agreed that the Egyptian government’s leadership has a vital role to play in fighting corruption. Also, the impression that the country has seen significant improvement in its efforts to combat corruption was supported by the data analysis.
