TIZ Ranks ZRP Most Corrupt Gvt Department

Transparent International Zimbabwe {TIZ} has ranked the Zimbabwe Republic Police {ZRP} as the most corrupt government department.

This was revealed by TIZ’s latest national bribe payers index study for 2021 which gathered citizens’ perceptions and experiences of corruption in the government sector.

In a report TIZ said “Rankings of perceived corruption are as follows: ZRP 38,9 %, VID 18,9% with the local authorities (urban and rural councils) ranking at 5,1%.”

TIZ added that it noticed an increase in corruption activities in public institutions, which it said is causing poor service delivery.

“Zimbabwe is no exception to the scourge of corruption. In recent years, the country has consistently performed poorly on the global corruption barometer and the corruption index. Furthermore, TIZ has noted a rise in systematic corruption in many public institutions contributing to poor service delivery,” TIZ said.

TIZ said Zimbabwe was among a number of countries reeling under the scourge of corruption.

The 2021 Transparency International Corruption Perception Index ranked Zimbabwe 23 out of 100 highly corrupt countries.
