Bangladeshs position has gone down sharply from the top in terms of curbing corruption losing one score indicating that the countrys corruption scenario deteriorated, according to Transparency Internationals annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) released on Wednesday.
However, Bangladesh maintained its 13th ranking from the bottom as in 2011 (183 countries) though it slipped by 24 steps to 144th place out of 176 countries this year from the top which is a matter of concern.
On a scale of 0 to 100, Bangladesh scored 26, the report said mentioning that Bangladesh loses 1 score.
Executive director of Transparency International, Bangladesh (TIB) Dr Iftekharuzzaman unveiled the annual CPI at Brac Centre Inn.
TIB Trustee Board chairperson advocate Sultana Kamal and its member M Hafizuddin were also present on the occasion.
it appears that the depth of corruption is worrying but theres no reason to think that Bangladesh is a corrupt country countrys all people arent corrupt though graft is a barrier to economic growth and removal of poverty, Iftekharuzzaman said.
He urged the government to take effective steps to get the country out of this perturbing position.
Iftekharuzzaman said the country or its people in no way be branded as corrupt for the graft practices of powerful people and failure of the countrys leaders and related institutions to curb it.
Sultana Kamal said, The poor people of the country become the worst sufferers when there are corruption, irregularities and injustice. The duty of any responsible citizen is to help government prevent corruption.
She said the mass media and different non-government organisations, including civil society, will have to play a more responsible role.
The report shows Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo Republic, Syria and Ukraine also held the same position with Bangladesh from the bottom.
Denmark, Finland and New Zealand are the least corrupt countries having scored 90 each.
Sweden was in the second position with 88 while Singapore secured the third position with a score of 87.
The lowest position from the bottom has jointly gone to Somalia, North Korea and Afghanistan with only 8 score.
Sudan and Myanmar held the second and third position respectively from the bottom with 13 and 15 score.
Among the South Asian countries, Bangladesh has become sixth from the top and second from the bellow this year.
Bhutan is the least corrupt country in South Asia while Afghanistan is the most corrupt.
The Berlin-based global civil society group, campaigning against corruption, has been publishing the report every year since 1995. The report was published in Dhaka as well in other countries simultaneously today.
