i believe it has to do with economics.

When a person can earn a wage great enough to live comfortably, the incentive for corrupt behavior is greatly diminished.

This, in combination with clear cut and consistent criminal penalties for this type of behavior can virtually eliminate it in societies.

This can be said of all countries, not just in African and Asia.
Mexico and Russia are prime examples. Its just human nature.

It is not correct to say that most Asian and African countries are highly corrupt. Some countries in Latin America are not far behind.
In Asia itself, there is less corruption in China, Japan, Vietnam etc.
The main reason for the corruption are i) poverty and poor education accompanied by high population, which does not allow right type of representatives to be elected, ii) If the countries have been under foreign domination for long, and iii) if their religious beliefs have been weakened by efforts of conversion.

Today's world is very competitive. Everyone is running behind the money for the sake of status and comfort. In developed countries there are many ways to get money by proper ways. But Asia & Africa are the continents having most of their countries undeveloped. Also job opportunities are less due to less industrialisation. In short, the ways to earn money are less. But the people all over the world are greedy including Asia & Africa. Thus people try wrong ways to earn easy money, leading to corruption. Thats all.

I agree especially Pakistan. But we are talking of mental and moral corruption here.

Brainwashed millions who are bankrupt in their minds

Osama Bin Laden is a creation of the Pakistan's ISI secret agency. The ISI's ultimate game plan is to train millions of brainwashed terrorists who are ready to die in the name of Islam and go and murder thousands of innocent victims across the western world.

The intention for it doing so is that it cannit bear to see the likes of China and India racing to become Super Powers politically, economically, in manufacturng and in IT.

Using Islam as a tool - Pakistan wants the west to feel terrorised all the time and then play the fool by acting to be an ally in the war on terror.

The truth is that the Pakistanis feed this terrorism as this indeirectly allows them to blackmaila nd fool the west and at the same time secretly champion a so called "Islamic" revolution using these trained terrorists to do the bidding of the ISI.

They were biggest british colonies. When British left, they transfered the power to their cronies. In short, their colonies were outsourced to their local partners. The guys who took over the power were naturally bent upon protecting their wealth and power.

These countries have their administration, education and constitution intact as designed by their colonial masters. I think this will give some clues for your Q.
