According to the 2019 Global Corruption Barometer, the majority of Ghanaians still perceive the police service as the most corrupt institution.
The report reveals that nearly 59% of Ghanaians believe that the police service is the most corrupt.
Then come judges and magistrates, considered by 38% of Ghanaians as the second most corrupt institution.
The 2019 survey of the Afrobarometer on the perception of corruption recalls the figures of 2015. In 2015, 64% of Ghanaians thought that the police was the most corrupt, but this figure dropped to 59% in 2018
The survey was conducted by Afrobarometer in 34 countries and covered 47,105 adults between 2016 and 2018.
Non-governmental organizations and religious leaders were also perceived as corrupt, polling 14% and 17% of Ghanaians respectively.
Sixty percent of Ghanaians believe that the Akufo-Addo government is doing a good job of fighting corruption, a huge leap from four years ago, when only 25 percent of Ghanaians believed that the government of the day was fighting corruption well.
Thirty-three percent of Ghanaians said that corruption had increased in the last 12 months, while 36% said corruption had decreased in the last 12 months.
The report was released Thursday by the Ghana Integrity Initiative, which urged the government to provide sufficient resources to key anti-corruption institutions.
