the heavy foreign direct investment. (left)

 Due in large part to a lack of transparency, accountability, and
media freedom.
 Corrupted government as well as with the corrupted officials.
 By competition among agencies for control over business and FDI
has created overlapping of jurisdictions and bureaucratic
procedures and approvals that in turn create opportunities for
corruption.
 Inadequate systems for holding officials accountable for their
actions.
 Lack of rules and regulations.
