Alarming 4 percent New Zealanders paid Bribe in last 12 Months! - TI

A colleague sent me a mail of a report in a New Zealand newspaper that “An “alarming” 4% of New Zealanders admit to having paid a bribe in New Zealand in the last 12 months, according to Transparency International's 2010 Global Corruption Barometer.”

I was going through Transparency International's 2010 Global Corruption Barometer and found that 54 percent Indians had admitted to paying a bribe in the last 12 months. If 4 percent is alarming, what is 54 percent?
