Cameroon ranked fourth most corrupt African country!
In its 2019 report, Global Corruption Barometer says Cameroon is the fourth most corrupt country in Africa. It concluded its report based on the rate of bribery in public services of the country.
The study reveals that the police, the judiciary and other related public institutions are the most corrupt sectors in Cameroon, with a leading bribery index.
Cameroon features fourth among the ten most corrupt Nations in Africa, coming after the Democratic Republic of Congo 80% bribery rate, Liberia 63%, and Sierra Leone 62%. Cameroon, with 48% bribery rate, came fourth.
The 2019 corruption perception index by Transparency International ranked Cameroon 136 out of 175 countries. The report found out that “the police are seen by Cameroonians as the most corrupt institution in the government.”
Corruption fighting mechanisms like the national anti-corruption commission, special criminal court, Supreme State Audit have however not reduced the mounting cases of bribery and embezzlement witnessed daily in Cameroon.
