Talking Corruption in Africa

By Thomas Kaydor/ 20 July 2014

According to Transparency International (2013) @ www.transparency.org,  the perceived levels of public sector corruption in 177 countries and territories around the world ( http://www.transparency.org/cpi2013/results) Liberia ranks 83 globally, and 15^th place amongst all African states. This is good news for Liberians to celebrate, though so much is still required to reach the best mark so that Liberia can become the most corruption free State in Africa.

In order of ranking for African states:

State	Rank
Botswana	30
Cape Verde	41
Seychelles	47
Rwanda	49
Mauritius	52
Lesotho	55
Namibia	57
Ghana	63
Sao Tome and Principe	72
South Africa	72
Senegal	77
