Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Botswana has improved its rating on corruption by five steps, scoring 60\/100 from last year\u2019s drop of 5 places, the 2022 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) shows.<\/b><\/p>\n

The report notes that Botswana continues to be one of the top performers in the southern African region due to a robust democratic system in which the legislative and policy frameworks have continuously improved.<\/p>\n

Strengthening of the opposition<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe strengthening of opposition parties has also allowed anti-corruption measures to be implemented, most notably the 2016 Whistleblowers Act followed by the 2019 Declaration of Assets and Liabilities Act,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n

It notes that a regional average score of 32 out of 100 marks another year of stagnation on the Corruption Perception Index for sub-Saharan Africa. \u201cForty-four of the 49 countries assessed still score below 50 and gains made by a few are outweighed by significant declines in others,\u201d the report says.<\/p>\n

Second after the Seychelles<\/b><\/p>\n

Ranked 35 out of 180, the Seychelles continues to lead the region with a CPI score of 70, followed by Botswana and Cabo Verde each with 60. Burundi (17), Equatorial Guinea (17), South Sudan (13) and Somalia (12) as the lowest.<\/p>\n

The CPI ranks 180 countries and territories around the world by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, scoring on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).<\/p>\n

One of the concerns raised in the report is that most countries are failing to stop corruption.<\/p>\n
