Zero tolerance for corruption must be enforced, not just announced
In the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2020, released by Transparency International on January 28, Bangladesh has scored 26 out of 100, the same as in 2019.
Ranking 146th and scoring 26 out of 100 in the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index 2020 is a disheartening position for Bangladesh, which is currently on a positive development trajectory. That it has performed worse than the previous year indicates that the malaise of corruption has actually intensified and the government s zero tolerance policy towards corruption is far from being implemented. Bangladesh s score is the second lowest among eight South Asian countries and the fourth lowest among 31 countries in the Asia Pacific region. We are only ahead of war-torn Afghanistan among the South Asian nations in the index.
