African Corruption On The Wane

African nations have taken the biggest steps in reducing corruption over the past 10 years according to the World Bank. A report measuring the quality of government in 212 countries from 1996 to 2006 found Africa had shown he greatest improvement. The report judged whether countries had free media, political stability, the rule of law and control of corruption. Countries in decline included Zimbabwe and Venezuela but there were as many gainers as losers.
