He aha ka palaho? Lohe ka hapanui o mākou i kēia huaʻōlelo i nā manawa he nui i ka lā ma ke kīwī a i ʻole ke kamaʻilio pū ʻana me ka poʻe. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole maopopo ka poʻe āpau i ke ʻano o ia mea, a me nā ʻano e pili ai.
Ma kēia ʻatikala e nānā mākou i ke ʻano o ka palaho a pehea ia.
He aha ka manaʻo o ka palaho
ʻO ka palaho (Latin corruptio - corruption, bribery) kahi manaʻo e hōʻike pinepine ʻia i ka hoʻohana ʻia e kahi luna o kona mana a me nā pono, nā manawa kūpono a i ʻole nā pilina i hāʻawi ʻia iā ia no nā hana mercenary e kūʻē i nā kānāwai a me nā loina pono.
ʻO ka palaho hoʻi ka uku ʻana i nā luna i nā kūlana like ʻole. I nā ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka palaho ka hana hoʻomāinoino i ka mana a i ʻole ke kūlana no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka loaʻa pilikino.
He mea pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia hiki ke hōʻike ʻia nā keu pono ma nā ʻano like ʻole: ka politika, ka hoʻonaʻauao, nā haʻuki, nā ʻoihana, etc. ʻO ke kumu, hāʻawi kekahi ʻaoʻao i ka mea kīpē i kahi e loaʻa ai ka huahana i makemake ʻia, ka lawelawe, ke kūlana, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo i ka mea hāʻawi a me ka mea lawe i ka uku kīpē e hōʻeha i ke kānāwai.
Nā ʻano palaho
Wahi a kāna kuhikuhi, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka palaho i nā ʻano aʻe:
- kālaiʻāina (loaʻa kānāwai ʻole i kahi kūlana, keakea i nā koho balota);
- hoʻokele waiwai (bribery of officials, money laundering);
- lawehala (blackmail, komo ʻana o nā luna i nā hoʻolālā hewa).
Hiki ke loaʻa ka palaho ma kahi pae liʻiliʻi a nui paha. No laila, he aha ka hoʻopaʻi e loaʻa i kahi luna hana hewa e pili ana i kēia. ʻAʻohe ʻāina i ka honua kahi e pau ʻole ai ka palaho.
Eia nō naʻe, nui nā mokuʻāina kahi i ʻike ʻia ai ka palaho he mea maʻamau, kahi hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka hoʻokele waiwai a me nā kūlana ola o ka lehulehu. A ʻoiai aia nā hui kūʻē kūʻē i nā ʻāina, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke kū piha i nā hana palaho.
