Foreign AffairsCorruption Seen Rising In Trump's US: Transparency Intl by la1(op): 4:57pm On Jan 29, 2019
- The United States last year slid down the rankings of a global corruption index as America's system of checks and balances faced growing threats on Donald Trump's watch, Transparency International said Tuesday.

The US lost four points to score 71 out of 100 on the watchdog's 2018 Corruption Perceptions Index, sending the country tumbling out of the top 20 for the first time since 2011.

"The low score comes at a time when the US is experiencing threats to its system of checks and balances as well as an erosion of ethical norms at the highest levels of power," TI said in its annual report.

The second year of Trump's presidency was a turbulent one, ranging from damaging revelations in an investigation probing links between Trump's 2016 campaign team and Russia, to his controversial backing for a Supreme Court nominee accused of sexual assault.

The US leader, who frequently rails against the media for writing "fake news", was also dogged by accusations of nepotism and conflicts of interest.

Last month, Trump agreed to close his personal charity after the New York attorney general said it had acted "as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump's business and political interests".

Transparency International's closely-watched index ranks 180 nations according to their perceived level of public sector corruption, where a score of zero means very corrupt and 100 signifies very clean.

"The Trump presidency has illuminated the cracks in the US system for ensuring a government that is accountable to the public interest," TI's Zoe Reiter, acting representative to the US, told AFP.

"But President Trump is a symptom rather than a cause; the issues were there before he took office. For example, the Office of Government Ethics simply doesn't have the teeth to control for conflicts of interest at the highest levels," she said.

- Rise of autocrats -

As in previous years, New Zealand and Nordic countries were among the best in class with Denmark narrowly beating New Zealand to the top spot at 88 and 87 points respectively.

Strife-torn Somalia was once again the worst performer, below Yemen, South Sudan and Syria which all scored in the low teens.

The Berlin-based watchdog also singled out Turkey and Hungary for falling down the rankings, blaming "the deterioration of rule of law and democratic institutions, as well as a rapidly shrinking space for civil society and independent media".

"With many democratic institutions under threat across the globe –- often by leaders with authoritarian or populist tendencies -– we need to do more to strengthen checks and balances and protect citizens' rights," TI's managing director Patricia Moreira said.

As part of its recommendations, the group urged governments to stand up for a free press and support civil society organisations that encourage public oversight over government spending.

The index is compiled based on data from 12 international organisations including the World Bank, African Development Bank and the World Economic Forum

This is all part of the muddy the water dubai strategy,.. cry wolf at every shadow,..thing is, they've done this before, in the run up to 2015 elections through to its conclusion, they accused JEGA of Bias, culminating in the Now infamous Orubebe "we will not take it" outburst,.

we are wise to their antics, the APC as usual will treat it same as they treat the more outrageous PDP tantrums and hit the IGNORE button,. Amina zakari will have her hands full distributing press passes and wifi access probably luggin a jerry can or two of diesel to keep the light on for the main event... too busy to care and that's the approach the rest of us should take on this non issue.

The mobilisation has been wholly subpar,. what stopped them from bringing in at least (at least o) a hundred coaster buses of supporters from each state of the region? who was responsible for the purse?...

Two down 4 togo, they better put up a decent performance in ibadan SW campaign or Mr Atiku should consider bringing in outside help cos his first 11 are not up to scratch.

Tthe presidency and the party should not and must not dignify such with any kind of response,. any fool and his brethren who believe in this clone/impostor/replacement/body double/ stunts man/face off/face on/ thespian/ issue is entitled to continue in their delusions.

atiku has just alienated a good portion of his intelligentia support base.

will he goto his hometown in adamawa and tell them that mai-gaskia is a clone from sudan? i'll love to watch that happen.

remember when PEJ made the "brain dead" and "born throway" reference regarding PMB and children of northern birth respectively?.. how did that work out?
