Corruption is a pervasive issue in developing economies, undermining economic growth, social development and governance. Utilitarianism, a moral theory that emphasizes the greatest good for the greatest number, offers a framework for addressing corruption by focusing on the consequences of actions and rule based issues. This article explores the efficacy of utilitarianism in combating corruption in developing economies. By analysing the ethical implications of utilitarian principles in the context of corruption, policymakers and stakeholders can develop more effective strategies to promote transparency, accountability and integrity in governance. There are rule-based utilitarianism and act-based utilitarianism which can be used in dealing with corruption.
