The Ghana Police Service, Judges and Magistrates, Government Officials and Parliamentarians have been ranked as the four most corrupt in the country.
A survey by Global Corruption Barometer Africa, released by Transparency International in partnership with Afrobarometer at the African Anti-Corruption Day, revealed that 60% of citizens indicated that government is doing a good job in the fight against corruption while 30% said government is not doing well.
Speaking at the launch of the report, the Programmes Manager of the Ghana Integrity Initiative, Mrs Mary Addah urged the state to intensify efforts towards the fight against corruption by resourcing anti-graft institutions like the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition, and the Centre for Democratic Development, to discharge their duties.
