The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice, CHRAJ, and the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), have started work to produce the first ever Corruption Survey which will focus on fifteen thousand Households.
Government has committed $100,000 to the project, while the GSS and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, is supporting it technically. Principal Statistician at the GSS, John Foster Agyaho said the project seeks to unravel the reality behind corruption perception in the country, hence the focus on households.
He said the report will be ready and published in the first quarter of the year.
”We are dealing with 15k households and that is a big sample, and the households because now we are talking about the experience of corruption and so you need to go to the people and find out from them those who have come in contact with Public Officials and whether there was some demand before tye service was delivered.”
He said, “hopefully we want to bring the fieldwork to an end in the first week of February and we are planning to publish the result by the first quarter of the year.”
