A corruption perception survey conducted by Afro Barometer and Transparency International has revealed how a large percentage of Ghanaians in 2015 perceived their President at the time, ex-president John Mahama.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In ranking Institutions and individuals in terms of corruption, the afrobarometer report shows that 47 percent of Ghanaians in 2015 perceived the President at the time (Mahama) to be corrupt.<\/p>\n

However, in 2019, only 27 percent of Ghanaians think their President, Akufo-Addo, is corrupt, a significant drop in the perceived corruption rate at the level in the country.<\/p>\n

The report also shows that under former President Mahama in 2015, corruption increased to 76 percent and decreased only by 8 percent in that year.<\/p>\n

Again in 2019, corruption has increased by 33 percent and subsequently reduced by 36 percent over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

It reveals that 33 percent of Ghanaians thought corruption increased in the previous 12 months, while 30 percent of public service users paid a bribe in the previous 12 months.<\/p>\n

According to the report, 60 percent thought ordinary citizens can make a difference in the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

The Afrobarometer survey collates citizens views and experiences with corruption in a number of African countries including The Gambia, Benin, Liberia, Uganda, Gabon, Niger, General, Burkina Faso, among others.<\/p>\n

Citizens, according to the report, were asked about their experiences with bribery for basic services, such as health care and education, to better understand what happens in people\u2019s daily lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found that people\u2019s experiences vary and some services are better than others when it comes to controlling corruption,\u201d the report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
