In Sindh, education remained the most corrupt sector, police was seen as the second most corrupt, while tendering and contracting was the third most corrupt. In Punjab, police remained the most corrupt sector, tendering and contracting were seen as the second most corrupt, while the judiciary was the third most corrupt.
