Developed nations are more concerned about corruption

Corruption and bribery is taken more seriously in developed countries. Maldives slipped few places in 2009 perceived corruption index published by Transparency International.  For more information about the index, please have a look at the video on the right. Bribery costs a lot to any nation. Huge sums are paid to seal the deals which could rather be used for development instead. When are we going to strengthen Anti-corruption Commission? I was very disappointed when all politicians including MDP and DRP parliamentarians quarreling each other on TV stations blaming each other on our Republic day. Nobody was talking about strengthening the other  PILLARS of democracy including Anti-Corruption Commission, Auditor General, Prosecutor General, Human Rights Commission, Judiciary etc.
