Venessa,
I have done a little empirical review on some literature concerning the depreciating value and academic performances of students in Primary and Junior High Schools in Kenya. I gleaned that corruption on the part of the educational ministry and heads of institutions have embezzled government and non-governmental funds meant for the supply of educational materials for effective teaching and learning activities such as textbooks, computers as well as other infrastructure.
This indicates that corruption is a harmful bug affecting Kenya's national development using education as a case. But, read more on studies on the effects of other fields as well.
All the best.

Generally, there are two camps regarding the effects of corruption. One regards corruption as "oil which greases the wheel" and the other thinks it is "sand in the machine". There is an externsive literature on this topic.
I just published a paper about corruption in Chinese urban planning. The title is "Anti-corruption in Chinese Urban Planning: the Case of Adjusting FAR", published in Cities in 2017. I tried to provide a more nuanced analysis of corruption in FAR (Floor Area Ratio, a measure of built density) adjustment. Hopefully, it might be related to your interest on this topic.
Corruption affects us all. It threatens sustainable economic development, ethical values and justice; it destabilises our society and endangers the rule of law. ... Delays in infrastructure development, poor building quality and layers of additional costs are all consequences of corruption.

Corruption denies us the ability to elect good leaders who are not selfish.
