Lets not forget this is just perception index and not factual investigation. Government is doing his best to reduce the rate of corruption in the country. Transparency International even acknowledged that fact as it picks out Senegal and Ghana as rare examples of countries progressing in the fight against corruption.

How else? Nobody is ever prosecuted or held accountable in Ghana, so there are no statistics available. We're in the 21st century and corruption is worse than ever.

Little boy and senseless John Mahama and his Ewe men who are stealing and looting everything in Ghana has made corrupt Nigeria looks good with regard to corruption. Ewe men are stealing with impunity.

Look at what little boy, John Mahama and his wife have done to the people of Brong Ahafo. Two Ewe men stole C576,000 from Ketu hospital and Ewe judge fined them C25,000. These two Ewe personnels bagged C551,000 as net gain. Woyome could loot $58.9 Million from our treasury and no government official is held accountable, you can imagine what NDC are busy doing with regard stealing and looting.

Now, Ewe men are darlings with regard to stealing in Ghana. They steal and Ewe judges set them free. Is there conspiracy here on the part of Ewe men to rape Ghana financially? Ghanaians, please wake up and open your eyes to what little boy John Mahama and his Ewe men are up to in our country.

Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey used to be the most corruption nations in the world. Now, John Mahama and his notorious NDC that have never done anything good in Ghana has made Nigeria look so good in terms of corruption.

When the president of the country himself and his siblings are the chief punks in the country, what else do you expect? His nieces, Jesse and Farida, are now busy selling Ghana's quota of Ecowas oil on the Black Market.

The NPP surrogate group wants to set the agenda for us again. You Vitus Azeem, dont you see how the President is fighting corruption or you want him to bundle all the perpetartors and jail them without recourse to law? This man and his GII have lost credibility. If corruption happens at NSS, he sees it as corruption of governement. Where was this man during Kufuor's time? Is this not the same NGO Yaw Buabeng Asamoah was heading? Garbage research

The list is not true because Prez. Kuffour did not make the list. He owns a huge shares in Ghana's total oil percentage.

This is garbage journalism. What is the meaning of Ghana ranks 7th in latest Corruption Perception Index? What is the direction (more or less) of corruption in Ghana? According to the index, Ghana is the 56th least corrupt country in the world, and 7th least corrupt in Africa. Comparatively, this is somewhat a good news for Ghana, and the title of your post should indicate so.

I agree that the country is engulfed with corruption and I cannot see any good enough efforts on the part of the government in combating it. Some of us are feeling the pinch of this. From passport office to land commission just to mention but a few. Is it not better to put measures there to stop some of these person to person contacts in going through acquisition of some of these documents? Isn't it easier if we allow people to do the registrations online where workable dates are given for one to go for the documents? Is Anas not interested in the Passport office, land title registration office etc. It's just too much frustrating. Why is it so easy to acquire passport in one week only when 500 Cedis bribe is received but months to years if one wants to follow due process? I'm disappointed in happenings in our mother country.
