HOW DO COUNTRIES MEASURE UP ON CORRUPTION IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR?

Despite a regional survey ranking corruption as one of the most important problems that Africans want their governments to address, the 2023 CPI shows that countries in Sub-Saharan Africa still have a long way to go in their fight against corruption.

Seychelles (CPI score: 71) remains the top scorer in the region, followed by Cabo Verde (64) and Botswana (59). However, Equatorial Guinea (17), South Sudan (13), and Somalia (11) perform the lowest with no sign of improvement.

Somalia Corruption Index

According to the 2023 Corruption Perception Index (CPI), Somalia scored a low 11, placing it among the countries with the lowest scores in Sub-Saharan Africa. This reflects the significant challenges that Somalia faces in combating corruption.

Despite a regional survey ranking corruption as one of the most pressing issues for Africans, the CPI suggests that Somalia has a long way to go in addressing this problem. It is concerning that there has been no sign of improvement in Somalia’s CPI score. Efforts need to be intensified to tackle corruption effectively and promote transparency and accountability in the country.

Qur’anic Verses and Corruption

﴿ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتُدْلُوا بِهَا إِلَى الْحُكَّامِ لِتَأْكُلُوا فَرِيقًا مِّنْ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ بِالْإِثْمِ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴾
[ البقرة: 188]

And do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful].

(الأعراف – 56) وَلَا تُفْسِدُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَٰحِهَا وَٱدْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

{Do no mischief on the earth, after it hath been set in order, but call on Him with fear and longing for the mercy of Allah is near to those who do good}
(Al-Aaraf Sura, Verse 56)

مِنۡ أَجۡلِ ذَٰلِكَ كَتَبۡنَا عَلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ أَنَّهُۥ مَن قَتَلَ نَفۡسَۢا بِغَيۡرِ نَفۡسٍ أَوۡ فَسَادٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعٗا وَمَنۡ أَحۡيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَآ أَحۡيَا ٱلنَّا ( Al-Ma’idah Ayat 32) سَ جَمِيعٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُنَا بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُم بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَمُسۡرِفُونَ

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.

END CORRUPTION

To end corruption, we promote transparency, accountability and integrity at all levels and across all sectors of society.
