Mayor Rabbi Lupoliansky Leads Integrity Survey
By Betzalel Kahn
The International Transparency Organization of Israel, which
works to advance transparency and public ethics, released the
results of a survey entitled Integrity in Local Government
conducted by Dachaf in the country's larger cities. Jerusalem
Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky received the highest marks with
70 percent of city residents indicating a favorable opinion
and stood out for his honesty.
The objective of the survey, commissioned by the
organization's Israel branch, was to assess how residents
view public corruption in their cities and the extent of the
problem.
The International Transparency Organization says it plans to
conduct similar surveys every year to provide comparisons
over time and wants to expand the number of cities and towns
surveyed.
The organization also publishes the Corruption Perceptions
Index and the Corruption Barometer every year. In last year's
assessment Israel was 28th of 159 countries surveyed.
