World Bank Ranks Liberia High In Controlling Corruption

As the Government of Liberia continues its fight against corruption, the World Bank has revealed that the war-wrecked nation has shown the largest improvement than any country globally in controlling corruption over the last two years.

According to Presidential Press Secretary Cyrus Wleh Badio, the statistics was recently released by the World Bank Institute.

Quoting the World Bank Institute’s Worldwide Governance Indicators, Badio said Liberia was ranked 185 out of 206 countries on control of corruption in 2005.

The Presidential Press Secretary made the disclosure Monday at his regular press briefing held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Monrovia.

According to the data, in 2007, Liberia moved up an additional 32 places to 113 in the world which means that in just two years, the country moved 72 places in the world rankings.
