A Somali anti-corruption body says bribery is rife in the country.
In a new study, Marqaati found that in parts of the capital, Mogadishu, 50% of respondents said they had paid bribes last year.
Fourteen per cent of people across the country paid bribes, with some paying them at least once a week.
Most of the bribes were paid to federal troops and Mogadishu’s regional authority.
Regional security forces and the Islamist group al-Shabab were also high on the list.
Marqaati said corruption was highest in areas where the state had a strong presence.
