Abstract: Abstract In this work, I make seven remarks on two topics viz, (1) Corruption control paradigm and (2) Implementation issues that are closely related with the new corruption control campaign. The arguments are about relationship between corruption and growth, conceptualising corruption, corruption measurements, empirical relationship between corruption and other indicators of governance, continuing corruption control dilemma in developing countries, lack of demand from the powerful for controlling corruption and the need for looking beyond corruption merely as problem. By bringing-out the inadequacies of current corruption control approach both on conceptual and empirical aspects, this study argues in favour of a rethinking by making corruption control efforts comprehensive and beneficial to the developing world.
