Islamabad: A new survey has shown that Pakistan's poorly paid police force remains the  most bribe-prone institution, media reports said on Sunday.

The report from Transparency International released on Friday also showed no confidence in anti-corruption entities including National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

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.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the judiciary remained the most corrupt sector, tendering and contracting was seen as the second most corrupt, while the police department was the third most corrupt, the newspaper reported.

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