Ramallah - Corruption is still rampant in Palestinian public institutions, a Palestinian anti-corruption agency said Wednesday.
The announcement by The Coalition for Accountability and Integrity-Aman sparked a furor among Palestinian officials, who argued that corruption in general has been reined in.
Aman told a news conference in Ramallah that despite some positive reforms, particularly in the area of public fund management, there is still a "general weakness in the system of combating corruption."
