The price of corruption: Hobrazia begins to restore faith in politics

In breaking news received just in the last few minutes here at the Hobrazian Times we have learnt that Hobrazia has risen in the global corruption index, this means that we are now less corrupt and more transparent then ever before. This is a huge win for the infinite party and the work of president Meliton to restore faith and trust in Hobrazian politics. The government is making its public procurement more transparent and open, because make no mistake corruption undermines democratic institutions, it sows dysfunction and prevents economies from thriving. President Meliton has said his government is fully committed to stamping out corruption, the journey will start from the very top, from the very heart of government.
President Meliton, President of the Hobrazian Republic

I have said before that we are a nation of so much potential, possibility and opportunity, this has always defined our nation. Its the Hobrazian dream that so many young Hobrazians have lost faith in. Let me make this very clear corruption has no place, no place at all in Hobrazia. It holds our economy back, we are working with all relevant stakeholders in Hobrazia and overseas to determine what more can be done to eliminate corruption.

Indeed shocking figures released by the Hobrazian Times today reveals that over 25% of global public spending is lost to corruption, it acts as a significant drain on the global economy. Corruption also costs through a lower quality of life, less access to affordable healthcare and education. As they say corruption is the enemy of development. While the costs of inaction will continue to mount day by day, its time for Terra to take action against corruption.
