Additionally, 60 percent of respondents said that the current government is not implementing a good strategy to increase transparency and accountability. Nevertheless, 54 percent acknowledged that there has been real progress against corruption in the present administration.
The survey also revealed that around 90 percent of respondents believe that the government must work in partnership with citizens in order to improve transparency and curb corruption.
