Who monitors corruption?

I assume you heard of the Global Corruption Report of 2006 (by Transparency International).

Al-Watan published a translation of the part on Kuwait, today. (Link)

What puzzles me is that the part on Kuwait was done by the Kuwait Economic Society KES. (See: Rola Dashti)

So does that mean that Kuwait has reliable & responsible NGOs?
Or does it mean that the part on Kuwait was biased & deficient?
and
will the Government try to persuade the KES to "trim" its monitor on corruption in Kuwait, as a deal to support women & businessmen candidates in 2007 Elections? (See: Conspiracy Theory).

or am I being skeptic today?

forzaQ8,

the problem is: day after day, people are losing their trust in the government & the parliament, and that's too dangerous.

nevertheless, people re-elect MPs known for being corrupt.

Tantalize,
you're right, we're trying.

btw, your comment reminded me of a thought of mine, that lingers in my head:
"Nations love to have good laws & constitutions, while hating the fact to abide. Simply because, humans aren't perfect to be completely lawful and need corruption to get things done the way they want, without having legal headaches"

long story short: Humans subconsciously regret having good laws.
