Gallup poll of corrupt countries, Cameroon comes in 5th

The Gallup corruption index was based on responses from adults in 101 countries. Over the course of the last year, respondents were asked two questions: Is corruption widespread throughout the government in your country? Is corruption widespread within businesses located in your country?
One should add that people have different definitions of corruption. What is considered corrupt in one country is considered rather normal in another. A recent poll in Russia suggested that 44 per cent of Russians consider some form of bribing acceptable. Poland, which joined the European Union in 2004, was ranked as the second most corrupt country by its own citizens. 89 per cent of Poles said they believed corruption was widespread in the former national government.
Lithuania emerged as the country perceived to be most corrupt, followed by Poland, Lebanon, Thailand, Cameroon, Ukraine and Russia. Nigeria, an African country with rampant corruption, ranked 75 out of 101 countries. Who would have thought that Cameroon ranks before Nigeria : ) ?
