The Partners for Transparency Foundation said today, Saturday, that it “detected 72 incidents of corruption during last November, 20 of which were in the Ministry of Supply, 7 in the Ministry of Health, 5 incidents in each of the local and agricultural sectors, and 4 incidents in the communications and information technology sector. And 4 incidents in the Ministry of the Interior ».

In its seventeenth report in the “Corruption Status Book” series, the Foundation stated that 82% of those incidents are still under investigation, 81 of which are still under trial, 61 of which are TP1T not investigated yet, and 41 TP1T of those incidents have been judged.

The report indicated that Cairo governorate still got the largest share of corruption incidents during November 2016, with a percentage of 32% of corruption incidents, followed by Giza governorate with 131 TP1T, then Gharbia with 8% of incidents.
Dr. Walaa Gad Al-Karim, Director General of the Partners for Transparency Foundation, said that the Foundation reiterates on the International Anti-Corruption Day that the legislative and procedural environment in Egypt is still not sufficiently helpful in confronting corruption and the good initiatives and efforts undertaken by some supervisory bodies such as administrative and parliamentary oversight. Administrative needs to be supported by the parliament and the government through an integrated package of legislation and implementation procedures.
