فساد الجنوبين: وشهد شاهد من أهلها

Quote: The latest Transparency International Global Corruption Barometer found that those respondents who have had contact with nine public institutions (police, education, judiciary, medical services, land services, tax revenue, customs, registry/permit), 66% reported paying bribes in the past 12 months. The citizens’ experience with corruption is significantly high in dealing with the police (where 47% of those in contact with the police reported paying bribes), registry/ permit services (46%), the judiciary (43%), and land services (41%). Coming to the reasons for paying bribes, the majority of Southern Sudanese have reported “to avoid a problem with the authorities” (40%) or “to speed things up” (33%) (Transparency International, 2011).
