is 24 per cent.

their country as more than just paying bribes: almost two out of three people
believe that personal contacts and relationships help to get things done in the
public sector in their country.

good are judged to be driving government actions -

say they would act against corruption. The majority of people said that they
would be willing to speak up and report an incident of corruption. Two-thirds of
those asked to pay a bribe say they refused.

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
