Corruption in Papua New Guinea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Overview of the index of perception of corruption, 2012. Corruption is rife in Papua New Guinea (PNG).[1] According to The Economist: “PNGs governments are notorious for corruption, and ever run the risk of turning the state into a fully-fledged kleptocracy”.[2] The 2012 Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index rated Papua New Guinea 2.5 on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 10 (very clean). This ranked it 150th out of 176 countries, tied with Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, and Paraguay, where the lower the ranking indicates higher levels of corruption.[3] Papua New Guinea is below the satisfactory levels set by the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), according to a report submitted by Transparency International Papua New Guinea (TIPNG) in 2011. TIPNG’s report found that in many cases, anti-corruption bodies in PNG were restricted by shortcomings in financial resources.[4] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Papua_New_Guinea
