[ALOCHONA] Re: TIB FACTS - In 2002 BNP was 2 times more corrupt than AL in 2001(!!!)

O Really!!!  Engr. Khan, you should have done your research more thoroughly or should I say more honestly.  You think you have scored a huge point for BNP-Jamaat circle.  But reality is totally different and really very harsh.  The following information exposes your false perception.  Be a proud Bangladeshi, but also an honest one.

You first go to this link http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2002#cpi  and go down to Explanatory Notes and you will come across http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~uwvw/2002.html .  And here you will find Background Information in the following link: http://www.icgg.org/corruption.cpi_2002_faq.html.  Go down to locate the following:

Can data from one year be compared with that from a previous year?

Comparisons to the results from previous years should be based on a country's score, not its rank. A country's rank can change simply because new countries enter the index and others drop out. A higher score is an indicator that respondents provided better ratings, while a lower score suggests that respondents revised their perception downwards. However, year-to-year shifts in a country's score can result not only from a changing perception of a country's performance but also from a changing sample and methodology. With differing respondents and slightly differing methodologies, a change in a country's score may also relate to the fact that different viewpoints have been collected and different questions been asked.

As compared with the CPI 2001, in 2002 Bangladesh's score has improved by 0.8 points. However, this change was due solely to methodological changes: the new standardisation technique avoids negative numbers. For example, last year the worst individual score provided to Bangladesh was -1.7. This year the worst standardised score is 0.3 due to the methodological changes. Bangladesh's original values had remained largely constant. As a consequence, the higher score in 2002 in no way reflects actual improvements. Quite the contrary: the results obtained in 2001 were corroborated by this year's CPI. There is now even much more agreement (that is, a low standard deviation of the data) that Bangladesh is perceived to have exceptionally serious problems with corruption. For the expert, maybe the following additional piece of data might be relevant. Had we used our former methodology, in 2002 Bangladesh would have obtained a score of 0.2, with a standard deviation of 1.4. The High-Low range would have been from -1.4 to 1.8.

Thanks,

Engr. Mohammad Musa Sarkar
