The Ghana Police Service has strongly rejected the 2013 global corruption barometer that places it first on the list of perceived corrupt institutions in Ghana. It is the third consecutive time the police in Ghana have been awkwardly ranked number one in corruption by the global anti-graft agency. 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.
