The Ghana Police Service continues to be viewed as the country’s most corrupt public institution, according to the June 2026 National Tracking Poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics.
The Police recorded a corruption perception score of 6.45 out of 10, maintaining the top spot despite a slight improvement from previous survey rounds. The Ghana Immigration Service ranked second with a score of 5.69, while Business Executives moved into third place with a score of 5.45.
The latest score for Business Executives marks an increase from 5.31 in March 2026 and reflects a worsening trend compared to the December 2025 poll, making it the only category among the top three to record a decline in public confidence.
According to the survey, the modest improvements recorded by both the Police and Immigration Service suggest a gradual shift in public perception. However, the rising score for Business Executives points to growing concerns among Ghanaians about integrity and ethical conduct within the private sector.
At the opposite end of the rankings, Ministers and Government Officials were perceived as the least corrupt, receiving 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 poll included the Judiciary, which scored 5.41, the Ghana Revenue Authority at 5.35, and officials of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), who scored 5.24.
On the broader issue of corruption in Ghana, public opinion remained cautiously positive. More than half of respondents (54%) said the situation had improved, although this was a slight decline from the 56% recorded in March. Meanwhile, 21% believed corruption had worsened, up from 18% in the previous survey, indicating a gradual decline in optimism about the country’s anti-corruption efforts.
The poll also examined public confidence in key anti-corruption institutions. When asked who is better positioned to combat corruption, 36% of respondents said both the Attorney General and the Office of the Special Prosecutor were equally capable of doing so.
Among those who expressed a preference, 24% backed the Attorney General, compared to 16% who favoured the Office of the Special Prosecutor. Another 13% said neither institution could effectively tackle corruption.
The survey was conducted between May 30 and June 12, 2026, and sampled 8,784 voters across all 16 regions of Ghana. It was carried out with a 99% confidence level and a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5%.
