      Reviewing the academic literature on corruption and other ills in Sierra Leone (Reno, 1995; Richards, 1996; Gberie, 2002), I argue these literate discourses look at corruption in Sierra Leone from a bureaucratist position—seeing it mainly as a deviation from the moral superiority of the legal-rational bureaucratic rules of the state, and that the practice is a move towards the total immorality of patrimonial practices.
