Watchdog Transparency International has called for the transformation of Egypt's electoral system in order for the country to rid itself of 'rising' corruption.

The Germany-based non-governmental organization wrote in a Saturday report that Egypt has been losing a fight against corruption and efforts were needed to counter the abuse of power driven by 'widespread conflict of interest, political interference, weak enforcement of laws and a lack of access to public information,' Reuters quoted the report as saying.

The report also urged an overhaul of the country's 'ineffective voter registration system' before Egypt's 2010 parliamentary elections and its presidential vote in 2011.

Egypt's opposition parties have already made an attempt to reform the elections system.

"Without serious reform of the wage system corruption is likely to increase," the watchdog said, adding, "Corruption is likely to take place when wages cannot cover basic living expenses."

It also called for more transparency of political issues and their media coverage.
