MOST of the world continues to fail in the fight against corruption, a damning new study says. 

Transparency International’s 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index, said today that 95 per cent of countries have made little or no progress in stemming the tide of corruption.

The study, which measures the perception of public-sector corruption according to experts and businesspeople, also found that governments hampered by corruption lack the capacity to protect the people while public discontent is more likely to turn into violence.
