Certainly, the Transparency Index (commonly known as the Corruption Index) indicates that an increase in a country’s index points corresponds to higher transparency and lower corruption. Here, the graph illustrates that during Imran Khan’s tenure, the transparency graph declined.
According to them, Khan’s era is considered the sole golden period in the 75-year history of Pakistan as they point out corruption index points instead of ranking change. Transparency Perception Index works on the perception of corruption in any country. During Imran Khan’s tenure, as there were more cases against Nawaz Sharif or cases in progress, the perception of corruption was also higher. They think that if a compartive is drawnn between Pakistan and other Governments, their perception would look even worse.
My recent interaction with a Pakistani expatriate robotic surgeon abroad strongly supports this sentiment. However, it’s ironic that, as a society, we seem to have lost the ability to accept facts and assess situations without bias.
