TI’S BAROMETER 2013: JUDICIARY, CIVIL SERVANTS, HEALTH OFFICIALS PERCEIVED AS MOST CORRUPT IN ARMENIA
NEWS | 09.07.13 | 11:35
Judiciary remains one of the most corrupt institutions in Armenia,
according to perceptions based on Transparency International’s
latest surveys.
Global Corruption Barometer 2013 published on July 9 shows that
Armenians also perceive public officials/civil servants and medical
and health services as other institutions engaged in corrupt practices
most.
Nongovernmental organizations are perceived as least corrupt, according
to the same survey.
Only between 21 and 40 percent of respondents in Armenia believe in
‘ordinary people’s ability to make a difference’, according to the
report, which also shows Armenia among the 16 countries, along with
Ethiopia, Hungary, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan
and others, where the majority of people would not be willing to
report the incident of corruption.
The most common reason for not reporting an incident of corruption in
Armenia, as is in 72 other countries, is that it would not make any
difference. The report concludes that it indicates “lack of confidence
in the existing laws and their enforcement.”
