The Transparency International Pakistan (TIP) says corruption touched its limits in the country in the outgoing year.Addressing a news conference, TIP Chairman Sohail Muzaffar said that delay in action against corrupt elements dented the process of accountability badly. He said the list of scandals is endless -- Steel Mills, NICL, Punjab Bank, Rental Power Plants (RPPs), Haj operations, KESC, PIA, Railways and WAPDA to name a few.He also said that the Supreme Court’s decisions are openly being violated, while institutions seem least interested in implementing court verdicts.The TIP has declared Land Administration and Police the most corrupt departments in its 2011 survey, while Education and Military remained least corrupt.The TIP survey report puts taxation at third place in corruption; judiciary at fourth; energy sector at fifth; tendering and contracting at sixth; customs at seventh while health sector was allotted eighth slot.
