"Only 13 countries scored between three and five, indicating that corruption is perceived as a serious challenge by country experts and businessmen in the region. As in 2008, only three countries scored more than five; Botswana, Mauritius and Cape Verde. Thus the overall picture remains one of serious corruption challenge across the region" , the Executive Director said

17th November, 2009 GII marks time on corruption perception ladder [Ghana News Agency - 11/18/2009]

...The overall picture remained one of serious corruption challenges across the region. "As in previous years, the Corruption Perceptions index results show that corruption has a particularly stark and devastating effect on countries that face ongoing political instability and high levels of poverty. 'Somalia, once again, is at the bottom of the ranking with a score of 1.0 as continued conflict and corruption prevent it from embarking on reforms.' Others scoring two or less included resource-rich countries such as Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Chad and Sudan. 'Despite their potential for generating huge revenues that could increase social development, these countries have not been able to translate their wealth into sustainable poverty reduction programmes. 'Instead, high levels of corruption in the extractive industries consistently contribute to economic stagnation, inequality and conflict.' Transparency International said countries that were perceived as relatively less corrupt still faced enormous challenges in the fight against corruption. It said: 'While legal frameworks have been increasingly strengthened across the sub-region, their enforcement remains inconsistent.' The organisation said that in Liberia, the post-conflict government had received international recognition for efforts to stamp out corruption."
