Cambodia remains one of the world's 20 most corrupt countries surveyed
by German-based Transparency International although its ranking has improved
slightly over the past year.
Rath Sophorn, chairman of
Transparency International Cambodia, said Cambodia ranked 157th out of 176
countries this year compared with 164 out of 183 countries last year.
"Cambodia still has a high
level of corruption. To reduce corruption in the country, we have to reinforce
the anti-corruption law," he said.
"To ensure transparency and
accountability, we ask the government to adopt an access to information
law," he added. Such a law would enable citizens to get information on
national budget plans, public tenders "and other important
information."
Preap Kol, executive director of
Transparency International Cambodia, said "all Cambodians should be able
to get proper health care and education without bribery."
New Zealand, Denmark and Finland
were ranked as the least corrupt countries this year while Afghanistan, Somalia
and North Korea were the most corrupt.
