"Corruption is afraid of transparency.." Shouted the First Deputy Prime Minister Omurbek Babanov of Kyrgyzstan.

The government has recently launched its anti-corruption website. An instrument to combat daily acts of corruption, a platform for whistle blowers, and more importantly a high-end transparency tool. Currently Kyrgyzstan ranks 164 in the 2010 Corruption Perceptions Index, which is published annually by Transparency International. Since the government's harsh stance on corruption was started the state treasury has seen a positive growth of more than 22 million soms ($463,000). This is one more example of e-governance enabling positive results for the progress of democracy and transparency. Kyrgyzstan has had a tumultous history of nepotism and overpowering corruption. The current president Roza Otunbayeva has vowed to rid the government of such acts, and more importantly initiated modern techniques to combat age-old problems.
