Transparency International: Czech politics perceived to be amongst world’s most corrupt

Czech political parties are perceived to be amongst the most corrupt in the world, suggests a new survey released by Transparency International on Tuesday. The study focused on 26 countries from four continents and ranked the Czechs third worst, behind Nigeria and Mexico, when it came to entrepreneurs’ perception of corruption in politics. Some 48 percent of the businessmen polled said they thought the government’s drive to crack down on corruption had been ‘very inefficient’ while a further 39 percent said it had been ‘inefficient’. In its damning report, Transparency International said that little to no progress had been made in the fight against corruption in the Czech Republic.
