The Ghana Police Service continues to be perceived as the most corrupt public institution in the country, according to the June 2026 National Tracking Poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics.

The survey assigned the Police Service a corruption perception score of 6.45 out of 10, placing it at the top of the rankings despite a slight improvement from previous polling periods.

The Ghana Immigration Service ranked second with a score of 5.69, while Business Executives were ranked third at 5.45. The latter recorded the only worsening score among the three highest-ranked institutions, rising from 5.31 in March 2026 and indicating growing public concern about integrity within the private sector.

According to the poll, perceptions of corruption within both the Police Service and Immigration Service have improved marginally compared to earlier surveys, suggesting a gradual shift in public opinion. However, perceptions regarding Business Executives moved in the opposite direction.

At the lower end of the corruption perception scale, Ministers and Government Officials were viewed as the least corrupt, recording a score of 4.54. The Presidency followed with a score of 4.84, while the Military recorded 4.90.

Other institutions assessed in the survey included the Judiciary, which scored 5.41, the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at 5.35, and officials of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), who received a score of 5.24.

The poll also measured public opinion on the country’s anti-corruption efforts. A majority of respondents, representing 54 percent, said corruption in Ghana had improved. However, this figure declined slightly from 56 percent recorded in March 2026.

Meanwhile, 21 percent of respondents said corruption had worsened, up from 18 percent in the previous survey, suggesting a modest decline in public confidence regarding progress in the fight against corruption.

On which institution is best positioned to combat corruption, 36 percent of respondents said both the Attorney General’s Department and the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) were equally capable of addressing the challenge.

Among respondents who expressed a preference, 24 percent identified the Attorney General as the more effective institution, compared to 16 percent who selected the Office of the Special Prosecutor.

Additionally, 13 percent of those surveyed said neither institution could effectively tackle corruption.

The National Tracking Poll was conducted between May 30 and June 12, 2026, and sampled 8,784 voters across all 16 regions of Ghana. According to Global InfoAnalytics, the survey had a confidence level of 99 percent and a margin of error of ±2.5 percent.
