No ministry or municipality in the country has a high level of protection against corruption in public procurement, according to the Center for Civil Communications (CCC). The CCC published the ranking of the Government, ministries and municipalities according to 32 indicators for anti-corruption performance in public procurement. Institutions are placed in three zones: red, yellow and green, depending on the points won for the way they conduct public procurement. At the same time, 100 percent means maximum, and 0 percent no protection against corruption.’
“No institution is in the green zone, of high protection against corruption, with an anti-corruption performance of over 80 percent. Four ministries and 43 municipalities are in the red zone, that is, their public procurements are carried out with a low level of protection against corruption, as they have less than 50 percent of them,” said the CCC.
According to the ranking, the Ministry of Education and Science (MES), the Ministry of Interior (MoI), the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning and the Ministry of Political System and Inter-Community Relations have the highest exposure to corruption, and the ministries with the best anti-corruption performance, whose achievement is 72 percent, are the Ministry of Defense (MoD) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (MAFWM).
