Politicians and top government officials have emerged among the institutions perceived to be the least corrupt in Ghana, according to the latest Global InfoAnalytics Corruption Perception Survey.
The survey ranked Ministers and Government Officials as the least corrupt group among the 14 institutions assessed, recording a score of 4.54 in June 2026, an improvement from 4.66 in March.
The Presidency also maintained a relatively low corruption perception score of 4.84, although this represented a slight increase from 4.77 three months earlier.
The findings place both institutions below Parliament, which recorded a score of 4.95, suggesting that Ghanaians perceive the country’s top political leadership more favourably on corruption issues than several other public institutions.
Parliament Sees Marginal Improvement
Parliament’s corruption perception score improved slightly from 4.97 in March to 4.95 in June, making it one of the institutions that registered gains in public confidence.
The improvement comes amid continued public debate over governance, accountability and the management of public resources.
Despite remaining below the midpoint of the rankings, Parliament still fared better than institutions such as the Electoral Commission, MMDA officials, the Judiciary and the Ghana Revenue Authority.
Mixed Public Views on Political Leadership
While Ministers and Government Officials emerged as the best-performing category in the survey, the slight deterioration in the Presidency’s score suggests that public perceptions of political leadership remain mixed.
The survey indicates that although concerns about corruption persist across Ghana’s public sector, citizens currently view political office holders more favourably than institutions such as the Police Service, Immigration Service and the Judiciary, which recorded significantly higher corruption perception scores.
The results also suggest that politicians have, for now, avoided the sharp public criticism directed at some state institutions, with ministers and government officials ranking as the least corrupt group in the latest assessment by Global InfoAnalytics.
