Businesses in the region regularly complain of corruption as an
obstacle to their work. Transparency International ranked Ethiopia 113
out of 176 nations worldwide in its 2012 perception of corruption index,
where No. 1 is considered least corrupt.
That ranking puts Ethiopia above most nations in the Horn of Africa and east Africa regions, although Rwanda is ranked 50.
Melaku Fenta, a senior ruling party member and director general of
the revenue and customs authority with the rank of minister, was
arrested on Friday alongside two other officials from the authority,
government spokesman Shimeles Kemal said.
