It’s not bribing your way out of a crime or something but it is still dodgy and corrupt.
- NovemberWhiskey 6y agoIf you're paying someone $20 to get out of parallel parking in your driving test; that's a bribe. If you're paying someone $20 to pass your driving test after you performed a perfect parallel parking maneuver but they baselessly claimed you were "too far from the curb"; that's a facilitation payment.
- zo1 6y agoA lot of "bribes" in Africa are simply to expedite things. And in a lot of cases, they unfortunately need expiditing because the officials want money and delay it unnecessarily. Still, its quite a fair bit different to giving someone money to allow your AK47 shipment to go past customs.
