Sixty-two percent of Ghanaians think members of parliament use their position to accrue wealth for themselves without thinking about their constituents.

Over 53 percent also do not trust in the ability of parliament to safeguard the public interest.

These were contained in a survey conducted by the National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE).

The survey which was conducted in September 2014 and outdoored at an event in Accra on Thursday, April 23, 2015, also revealed that more than 25 percent of Ghanaians believe that excessive Executive control is adversely affecting the efficiency of Parliament.

However, 37 percent of the respondents said they believe partisanship helps in effective decision-making in the lawmaking chamber while 50 percent gave the House a less than average grade in terms of general delivery.
