More actions needed to ward off graft

The just released East African Bribery Index 2013 again singled out Rwanda as the least corrupt country in East Africa. But being the least corrupt does not mean that there aren’t a few rotten apples in our basket, and if the index is to be believed, we scored worse than last year, albeit far, far better than the region. Last year’s culprits again appeared on the list of shame with the Police, local leaders and the judiciary appearing in the now familiar territory. But two institutions are cause for worry as accusing fingers were directed towards them; Banks and Rwanda Revenue Authority.
