Most Corrupt Countries in the world 2017

2. North Korea

Also known as the Democratic Republic of Korea, and it is the second most corrupt country in the world. It has a population of approximately 25 million. It is at number 63 as the most populated country in the world. A number of factors such as; Public officials taking bribes, manufacturing of fake medicine among others are contributing to corruption in this country. The only investors in this country are China and South Korea

1. Somalia

For almost 2 decades Somali has not had a functioning government. It depends on help from other countries such as the USA. Corruption has been fuelled by many factors some of them being; The absence of a central functioning government, leaders who are not well skilled in leading the country and also these leaders are poorly paid which does not motivate them to do their jobs well.

Corruption has manifested itself through various practices, some of them being; Embezzlement of public finance, misappropriation of donor and public funds, lack of government officials failing to disclose their actual resource flow and also unethical and professional negligence. This is according to a recent report from the prime minister. Despite having so many anti-corruption measures put in place to try and end corruption it has not bore any results.

As you can see corruption is a very serious problem in most countries and can really affect a country’s development if measures are not put in place to curb against it.
