The Ghana Police Service, Immigration Service, and Judiciary remain the three public institutions most widely perceived as corrupt, according to the latest survey by Global InfoAnalytics.
However, the July 2025 data also reveals a significant shift in public perception, with overall confidence in anti-corruption efforts showing marked improvement.
In an unexpected development, the Electoral Commission—which was ranked seventh in the April 2025 survey—has now jumped to fourth place, suggesting increasing public concern about its credibility.
Still, the outlook is not entirely bleak. The data suggests Ghanaians are beginning to see progress in the fight against corruption.
According to Global InfoAnalytics, “On the state of corruption, 60% of voters believe it is improving, up from 56% in April 2025.”
Only 13% of respondents believe corruption is worsening—a slight improvement from 14% in the previous poll. Meanwhile, 20% say things have remained the same, down from 23%, and 7% expressed no opinion, holding steady since April.
Confidence in the government’s anti-corruption efforts has also improved. The latest figures show 63% of voters believe the government is doing enough to curb corruption, up from 60% in April. Those who feel the government is not doing enough declined from 26% to 23%.
In a striking reversal of past trends, the Presidency and government appointees are now seen as the least corrupt institutions in the country, according to the July corruption perception index.
These findings indicate a shift in public mood toward cautious optimism, even as long-standing concerns persist about corruption within Ghana’s law enforcement and judicial systems. Despite continued challenges, the data points to a hopeful turn in the country’s fight against graft.
