Governance
Systemic Corruption, Cronyism, & Lack of Transparency
Public resources leak through bribery, favoritism, and opaque deals—raising costs and eroding trust.
Corruption persists when public money can be diverted with low risk — through opaque deals, discretionary rules, and weak enforcement.
What keeps this stuck
- Opaque political funding and quid-pro-quo crony contracts
- Discretionary regulatory power at every permit window
- Weakened, politicized anti-corruption watchdogs
- Low conviction risk because cases move slowly through courts
