Does these statistics are based on media exposed corruptions in Public entities or those found internationally corrupt in dealing with other MNCs?

Blosted, Thanks for the clarification.

@cherukkan, The Lord works in mysterious way.

And we kombaya him for his elegant work of keeping the earth clean.

So Kombaya !

Blosted, what's that kombaya?

The Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries and territories based on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be.

I found the website to give a slightly differing picture..

They should explain how they rank these countries, there are a lot of corrupted cops in France for instance....

Where are the non-western countries in the top 15?

So you mean U.S.A is the least corrupt?

Kombaya my lord!
