The Ghana Center for Democratic
Development (CDD- Ghana) has stated that their latest
Afrobarometer report is not politically motivated.
According to the Project Coordinator
for Afrobarometer of CDD, Daniel Attoh their main objective is to help policy
makers take the right decision.
The latest Afrobarometer report has
cited the police service as the most perceived corrupt public institution.
The results of the round six
Afrobarometer survey by CDD put the service ahead of other public institutions.
The survey focused on trust and perceived corruption in Ghana’s public
institutions.
The result said as high as 89% of
the respondents said the police service is the most corrupt institution.
The survey was conducted between May
and June 2014 and about 2400 respondents were asked to rate public institutions
including the Ghana Revenue Authority, as well as government officials and
Members of Parliament.
Government officials followed as
second most corrupt persons with 86 percent.
According to the survey, 75 per cent
of Ghanaians also think corruption has increased over the past year.
But Mr. Attoh noted on Asempa FM’s
Ekosii Sen Wednesday that “our report sought to reveal what the ordinary
Ghanaian thinks about the economy and not for any political reason".
“We also looked at different
dimensions and not one sided as people are speculating. Our main is to provide
voice for the voiceless in the country.
“And so I charge all the various
institutions in the country to also go out and seek the views of Ghanaians so
as to change the perception of some people” he noted.
