Corruption levels in Egypt increase despite Arab Spring
- Egypt: Thursday, December 06 - 2012 at 01:22
Transparency International has said Egypt has slid in a global league table of perceived official corruption in the past year, and the "Arab Spring" revolutions have yet to produce serious anti-graft action across the region, Reuters has reported. The anti-graft organisation said in its annual Corruption Perceptions Index Egypt had fallen six places to 118th out of 176 countries as levels of bribery, abuse of power and secret dealings remain high in the Arab world's most populous nation. "We've observed that in countries where substantial change occurred they're still struggling to put in place new systems of governance," said Christoph Wilcke, Transparency International director for the Middle East and North Africa. "That's reflected in these scores. The hope hasn't materialised yet in more serious anti-corruption programmes."
