The president and government ministers are no longer at the top of the list of the most corrupt institutions, according to Ghana’s most recent corruption poll, which showed an unexpected change. In response to the report, Mussa Dankwah shared:
When compared to the 2024 Afrobarometer Report, the presidency and ministers/government appointees are ranked lower among Ghana’s most corrupt public institutions. According to a recent poll. More soon!
Even while this might seem like progress, a lot of Ghanaians don’t think so. Has there been a real decline in presidential corruption, or is this only a clever public relations ploy?
The Afrobarometer survey has continuously ranked Ghana’s most corrupt leaders, including the president, ministers, and members of parliament. There are questions raised by their abrupt decline in ranks.
Where is the accountability if their degrees of corruption have actually decreased? Are authorities facing legal action? Have public funds that were taken been retrieved?
Opponents contend that this transition is the consequence of growing corruption in other institutions, such as the judiciary, police, and local government offices, rather than a genuine shift. Corruption is only being “rebranded” across various industries rather than having the system fixed.
Although Mussa Dankwah says, “More soon!!!!!” there is no doubt that Ghanaians require actual action, not just rankings. The public is still dubious of any purported reforms until public servants are held accountable for their misconduct.
