Liberia has ranked on top of countries that are yet to make significant progress in the fight against corruption. The assessment from Transparency International, comes just a day after President George Weah told Liberians that the fight against corruption crimes remains paramount concern, saying his administration has strengthened the fight against corruption. But the global corruption watchdog, Transparency International, paints a picture of endemic corruption, which is not being rooted up, as Liberia now ranks 142 out of 180 countries in its 2022 corruption perceptions index. Its ranking measures perceived public-sector corruption using a scale on which 100 is seen as very clean and zero is very corrupt. This year's results reveal that a majority of the 180 countries analyzed are showing little to no improvement in tackling corruption.
