Has Suu Kyi made Myanmar less corrupt? (Opinion).  [Myanmar’s Corruption Perception Index] ranking has slowly but steadily improved since Suu Kyi assumed electoral power in 2016, when Myanmar ranked 136th on the index. That’s quantifiable international recognition of her government’s anti-graft battle, a campaign of new laws, high-profile arrests and sackings, and improved collaboration on graft issues with the private sector.”
