The Ghana Police Service, Immigration Service, and Judiciary have once again emerged as the top three most perceived corrupt public institutions, according to a new survey by Global InfoAnalytics.

The July 2025 edition of the survey revealed that public perception of corruption remains heavily associated with these institutions, despite ongoing reforms aimed at improving their integrity.

Notably, the Electoral Commission, which ranked seventh in April 2025, has now risen to fourth place in the latest rankings, marking a significant shift in how the public views the Commission’s credibility.

Although the dominance of these institutions in the top rankings remains concerning, the survey also hinted at a gradual improvement in the overall perception of corruption across public institutions.

Global InfoAnalytics reported improved perception scores across all surveyed institutions, suggesting a potential positive shift in public sentiment.

However, the persistence of certain institutions in the top spots underscores the continued need for transparency and accountability.

According to Global InfoAnalytics, “On the state of corruption, 60% of voters believe it is improving, up from 56% in April 2025.”

The survey also found that only 13% of respondents believe corruption is worsening, a slight decline from 14% in April. Additionally, 20% said the situation remains unchanged, down from 23%, while 7% had no opinion, consistent with the previous poll.

The survey further highlighted a rise in public confidence in the government’s anti-corruption efforts, with 63% of voters now believing the government is doing enough, up from 60% in April. Meanwhile, the proportion of those who disagreed fell from 26% to 23%.

In a significant shift, government appointees and the presidency are now perceived as the least corrupt institutions, according to the July 2025 edition of the Corruption Perception Index.

These findings point to growing public optimism about institutional integrity, even as several key bodies continue to face lingering reputation challenges.
