The Ghana Police Service and the President’s Office are thought to be the most corrupt organizations in the nation.
The Ghana Center for Democratic Development conducted an Afrobarometer research, the results of which are presented here (CDD-Ghana).
According to the study, the Police was ranked first overall with a score of 65%, followed by the Presidency in second place with a score of 55%.
Positive evaluations of the President’s performance, according to the assessment, fell by 31 percentage points between 2019 and 2022, from 61 percent to 30 percent.
Following suit in that order were judges and magistrates, tax officials, and the Electoral Commission.
This was announced at a gathering in Accra that the CDD-Ghana organized.
The initiative touched on democratic government, institutional trust, and corruption.
Adult residents chosen at random from a nationally representative sample served as the research sample.
The 2,400 sample members were dispersed throughout the states, provinces, and urban and rural areas in accordance with their percentage of the total population of the country.
Fieldwork for Round 9 was done in Ghana from April 4 through April 20, 2022.

Between 2019 and 2022, trust in the Presidency also decreased by 25%, the survey claims.
The most trusted institutions in Ghana were the judiciary, the Ghana Armed Forces, and traditional and religious leaders.
