4. Sudan
Corruption Percentage Index: 12
It is hard to name even half of the things going wrong in this country and to talk about the corruption in one sector or the other, as it has been determined that “ Corruption can be found in all sectors of the economy and at all levels of the state apparatus in Sudan. Corruption manifests itself in various forms, including widespread financial and political corruption, nepotism, and misuse of power. Both petty and grand forms of corruption are prevalent in the country.” One of the major corruption scandals happened years ago when $370 million vanished between what the government announced receiving and what the China National Petroleum announced pumping from the oil fields. Even though this happened long ago, and Sudan’s Ministry of Finance responded with the explanation of using “two different methods of accounting”, it seems that Sudan hasn’t progressed a lot when it comes to controlling corruption issues, as it is confirmed by the Transparency International’s report for this year.
