Transparency International ranked Ghana the 7^th most corrupt African country in 2015 after the country slipped by one percent from 2014.

Public perception of corruption came up strongly during the 2016 election and with the assumption of the current administration.

Christian Service University College believes academia has a major role to play in riding the Ghanaian society of the canker.

President, Prof. Sam Afrane told a press conference Tuesday that the public lecture is the school’s contribution to the fight.

“CSUC is organizing this public lecture as our contribution to advancing the debate on the issue and to educate the citizenry on the causes, effects and solutions to nipping this canker in the bud,” he said.

The Public lecture will be chaired by Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong, the General Secretary of the Christian Council, Ghana.
