It has been reported in the media that the Washington-based World Justice Project (WJP) has released its 2012 Rule of Law Index, which finds Pakistan the seventh most corrupt and the top-most insecure nation out of a total of 97 countries assessed.
The country also presents a dismal picture in the categories of human rights, civil and criminal justice, regulatory enforcement, check on government powers, regulatory enforcement and openness of the government.
Some people may be dismayed over Pakistan’s ranking. Don’t despair. If our leaders keep working hard, Pakistan will climb the ladder of corrupt countries to be declared Numero Uno in the list.
