Top 20 Most Corrupt African Countries, Recent List
Transparency International’s annual Corruption Perception Index study was recently issued.
According to a copy of the report obtained by Business Insider Africa, 90 percent of the 180 countries polled received a score of less than 50.
Surprisingly, 44 of the countries with the lowest levels of corruption are in Africa. We’ll be concentrating on these in the near future.

Since 1995, the index has been tracking corruption in the public sector around the world.
It should be mentioned that Africa’s average index score is 33, the lowest in the world, according to the most recent CPI report.
