Perception of Corruption

According to the recent report provided for Transparency International ecuadorian people are spending 533 million dollars every year in bribery. The report, presented the last Wednesday the 30th, reflects the investigation made by the international organization and it is based in 2,120 surveys.

In the report of September of 2007 Transparency International pointed out that Ecuador had a 2.1 in the 10 scale of the perception of corruption. 10 was the highest transparent perception.

The Vice-president said today that the report only reflects the situation of the country that this government received. Also, some politicians (like Alberto Acosta, the president of the Constitutional Assembly) think that the report reflects the position and methodology of only one organization.
