A corruption perception survey conducted by Afro Barometer and Transparency International has revealed how a large percentage of Ghanaians in 2015 perceived their President at the time, ex-president John Mahama.
In ranking Institutions and individuals in terms of corruption, the afrobarometer report shows that 47 percent of Ghanaians in 2015 perceived the President at the time (Mahama) to be corrupt.
However, in 2019, only 27 percent of Ghanaians think their President, Akufo-Addo, is corrupt, a significant drop in the perceived corruption rate at the level in the country.
The report also shows that under former President Mahama in 2015, corruption increased to 76 percent and decreased only by 8 percent in that year.
Again in 2019, corruption has increased by 33 percent and subsequently reduced by 36 percent over the last 12 months.
It reveals that 33 percent of Ghanaians thought corruption increased in the previous 12 months, while 30 percent of public service users paid a bribe in the previous 12 months.
According to the report, 60 percent thought ordinary citizens can make a difference in the fight against corruption.
The Afrobarometer survey collates citizens views and experiences with corruption in a number of African countries including The Gambia, Benin, Liberia, Uganda, Gabon, Niger, General, Burkina Faso, among others.
Citizens, according to the report, were asked about their experiences with bribery for basic services, such as health care and education, to better understand what happens in people’s daily lives.
“We found that people’s experiences vary and some services are better than others when it comes to controlling corruption,” the report.

The report was Nana 70% and Mahama 30%. How come you guys want to change the results. It will not hold. Shame LOSERS
Mahama himself knows he has corrupt mind so this is no a surprise to him. How can your president form committee to investigate you as Vice President in the aero plane saga? President directly accepting Ford gift after awarding a contract. It is serious issue. These are examples he is directly involved. NDC made a mistake selecting JDM
One ***barred word*** website
Why you guys worrying yourselves with this reportage, who bring it out, Daily Guard...... Mouth piece of New Patriot Party. Who will use his left finger to show his/her father's home. I taught they were going to repeat like 2012-2016 that Nana is not corrupt. So Nana too is corrupt. God will punish some NPP. Since independence of Ghana, the people who has bring this country to this current corruption is U.P, today NPP. Who show the way of Coup d'état. Is not the one who bring sugar cane to the house bring housefly? I no those who does not no the history of Ghana will come and attack me. when did NDC came? and U.P to NPP. If NDC steal they learn from NPP,
The corruption level has significantly gone down in the current era of president Nana Addo. The erstwhile Mahama government corruption levels was historical incomparable. The corruption gap between Mahama and Nana Addo is like a race between an Aeroplane and a bicycle
John Mahama and his Corrupt NDC will never and can't never ever handover it corrupt tag for any party in GH. they have set the records and it still remains the same. IF I SAY NDC, SAY CREATE 100T AND SHARE, IF I SAY NDC, SAY CREATE 1OOT AND SHARE.
Deceptive reporting...how can you bring 2015 report and make it look like a current one...Fake news masters...Daily Guide.... Meanwhile, continue to tickle yourselves and laughing....NAAADA is stealing and stashing all the money away!!! Have u been listening to Kenvin Taylor...now contracts are signed in billions of dollars to his nephews...tweaaa....***barred word*** with no shame!!!
corruption is corruption no matter the magnitude. If they had said Nana Addo's government is not corrupt at all, I would agree;but once there is corruption going on as we speak there is no need comparing to see who is more corrupt. In any case ,steps were taken by MR. Mahama against some of his appointees unlike now where the president has become a clearing agent.
Why will anyone bother comparing the two? Everyone knows that Mahama's main goal when he had the opportunity was to steal whiles Nana's main goal is to ensure every Ghanaian has his/her equal share of our resources. Nana's people centered policies speaks volumes.
