This was based on in depth knowledge on corruption reporting and challenges faced in the course of reporting. However, simple random sampling was adopted in selecting 10 leaders from the district to discuss more about corruption. Key finding revealed from the correlation analysis showed strong positive significant relationship between Judiciary (laws) and corruption (r =0.458**, p=0.036) and strong positive significant relationship between technology and corruption (r =0.348**, p=0.00). Findings from the overall model revealed that 45% of the variations in the corruption rates were explained by Judiciary and technology. The yielded evidence of the influence of the above as factors leading to high rates of corruption. The regression coefficient (0.228) implied that unit increase in the independent variables (laws and technology) resulted into 0.228 units increase in the corruption rate.
