At the end of the seminar, the presenter emphasised the necessity of the seminar and recommended the importance of individuals taking a firm and resolute stance against administrative corruption. This condemnation fosters immunity among others against accepting corruption and provides a healthy environment that rejects all forms of corruption. Moreover, avoiding publicizing administrative corruption in the media was considered one of the best remedies, as publicizing gradually became a means of social corruption. Additionally, practices such as integrity and righteousness, as well as refraining from negative competition in exploiting positions contrary to values, principles, and laws, were identified as effective measures in reducing administrative corruption.
Finally, one of the most effective means of addressing behavioral deviations and the harmful fear that implicates individuals in administrative corruption is a deeper and more impactful healthy fear in the individual's personality and psyche, which is the fear of God Almighty and the true motivation for righteousness
