Contrary to its earlier stance, the government of Cameroon has admitted that the German Anti-Corruption NGO, Transparency International, TI, was right when it classified Cameroon as the most corrupt country in the world for two consecutive years. Five years after that classification, government seems to have come out of its shell to admit that TI was right. "When Cameroon topped the chart as the world champion of corruption, the entire nation was disturbed and traumatised. Some citizens considered it a betrayal or even a show of hatred for our country by certain donors or super powers. A closer look would, however, reveal that many indicators seem to confirm the classification in almost all sectors of national activity."
