Some 94 percent of heads of enterprises polled by Transparency Maroc, an anti-corruption NGO, deem corruption a major brake to Morocco's development.

According to the poll, whose results were disclosed Wednesday, Moroccan households consider corruption as the second major issue of concern after joblessness.

The poll, conducted on a specimen of 1000 heads of enterprises and 400 households, shows that corruption worsens in Morocco mainly due to the lack of sanctions (90 percent of businessmen and 80 percent of households).

The majority of polled businessmen and households think that corruption exists everywhere in the public and private institutions. Some 69 percent of households and 80 percent of businessmen believe that corruption is frequent among the politicians of the country.
