ان الفساد هو كامن في نظام المحاصصة الطائفية والصناديق المتفرعة عنه التي يجب الغاؤها وفي التوظيف الزبائني في الدولة الذي يجب الغاءه. كما يجب إقرار القوانين المتعلقة باستعادة الأموال العامة، وقانون استقلالية القضاء، ورفع الحصانة عن كل من يتولى الشأن العام

Patronage appointment


Explanation:
"In this paper, I examine the choice between patronage and merit appointments with a very simple, general, theoretical framework. Patronage, I argue, is characterized by skilled and unskilled candidates bidding for offices by offering political services in exchange for posts. It is costly insofar as it may exclude qualified candidates from office if these candidates lack the means to secure a post. Patronage is, therefore, less likely to be adopted when excluded candidates are highly skilled."

"Patronage
A formal definition of patronage is "the power of appointing people to governmental or political positions" and "the positions so distributed" (Webster’s II New College Dictionary 1995). Generally, the word patronage has a negative connotation that this straight-forward definition fails to convey. Patronage suggests the transgression of real or perceived boundaries of legitimate political influence, the violation of principles of merit and competition in civil service recruitment and promotion. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize that governments the world-over accept that some political appointments are fully legitimate. A small number of these appointments are
justified as a means for political leaders to fashion a circle of government policymakers and managers who share a common agenda. Patronage is clearly a problem, however, when these appointments pervade public administration, severely undermining merit principles. Somewhere between these two extremes the line between appropriate and inappropriate uses of patronage is crossed.
"Good" vs. "Bad" political appointments?"

So we can translate it into patronage appointment or patronage recruitment

Cronyism is the practice of partiality in awarding jobs and other advantages to friends or trusted colleagues, especially in politics and between politicians and supportive organizations. For instance, this includes appointing "cronies" to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications.
