Corruption in Bangladesh

According to Transparency International, Bangladesh ranked 14th in the list of countries with the most perceived corruption in 2014.^[198] In 2015, the cost of bribery was at 3.7% of the national budget. ^[199] The country's Anti Corruption Commission was highly active under a state of emergency in 2007 and 2008, when it indicted many leading politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen for graft. After assuming power in 2009, the Awami League government greatly reduced the commission's independent powers for investigation and prosecution.^[200] Land administration was the sector in Bangladesh with the largest cost of bibrery in 2015.^[201] Education is among the sectors with significant corruption. ^[202] The police is highly affected by corruption, too. ^[203] Corruption affects water supply significantly.^[2
