Sri Lanka Is A Corrupt Nation
By Easwaran Rutnam-Tuesday, July 09, 2013
Public sector corruption is still high in Sri Lanka, and by the looks of it we have a long way to go to clear our name.
According to Transparency International, Sri Lanka is ranked 79 from among 174 countries in the corruption index for last year as compared to 86 the previous year.
The least corrupt nation is at number one while the worst is at number 174 and based on that Sri Lanka is on the margin between the good and bad.
Sri Lanka is only one rank better than China, who just so happens to be Sri Lanka’s biggest development assistance partner.
What the government cannot be proud of however is that countries like Tunisia and Rwanda are better than Sri Lanka when it comes to corruption in the public sector.
