The Ghana Police Service has for the third time running topped the list of public organizations perceived to be the most corrupt in the latest Global Corruption perception index.The 2013 Global Corruption Barometer released by Transparency International has revealed that the perception of corruption in Ghana has worsened in the last two years.Details of a survey conducted in all 10 regions of the country revealed that 54% of the 2,000 respondents thought corruption had deepened in the past two years, while only 20% reported that corruption had decreased.82% of the respondents felt that corruption was a problem, and only 30% of people expressed confidence in the government’s efforts in fighting corruption.The Ghana Police Service was for the third year running, ranked as the institution perceived to be the most corrupt in the country, with Political parties, the Judiciary, and the Education system following in that order.Executive Director of the Ghana Integrity Initiative, local chapter of Transparency International, Vitus Azeem is worried the Police Administration has not done much to improve the public image of the law enforcing body.“The police administration needs to find out why they continuously occupy the top position,” he stated.Meanwhile, some members of the public who spoke to Joy News on the findings, said they were not surprised by report.“I don’t think it’s a big deal; we all know you would have to pay something to get something done for you and this is normal,” a resident of Accra told the Joy Midday News.
