Severe corruption in government still prevalent in 2006 ("Country Report on Human Rights Practices 2006") [ID 19833]
"The NGO Transparency International reported a perception of severe corruption. Relatives of high government officials often owned companies that did business with the government; in turn they usually received kickbacks for government business. Bribery of police was also a concern.
There were no laws providing for public access to government information, and the government did not provide such access."
