Nothing surprising there but the latest Afrobarometer report published has as much as 89% of Ghanaians viewing the police service as the most corrupt public institution.
The report was conducted between May and June this year, sampling the views of 2,400 Ghanaians across all ten regions.
In the report published on citifmonline.com, the overwhelming feeling is that Ghanaians have little to no trust in public officials and institutions. Aside the police, almost all other public sector officials fared poorly except the military; which somehow retained the overwhelming trust of the public.
The institutions identified as having little trust from the populace included the tax department, local government, police, parliament, ruling party, the electoral commission, president, courts of law, and the opposition.
Aside believing the police to be the most corrupt, 71% of respondents also felt the government has done little themselves in tackling the canker of corruption.
