<\/a>Ghana has been ranked 69 out 182 countries on Transparency International\u2019s 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) released today December 1, 2011.<\/p>\nThe 2011 index draws on different assessments and business opinion surveys carried out by independent and reputable institutions.<\/p>\n
The surveys and assessments used to compile the index include questions relating to the bribery of public officials, kickbacks in public procurement, embezzlement of public funds, and questions that probe the strength and effectiveness of public-sector anti-corruption efforts.<\/p>\n
Out of the overall 10 score points which perceives a country as least corrupt, Ghana scored 3.9 points as the report says \u201cthe vast majority of the 183 countries and territories assessed score below five on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 10 (very clean).\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the anti-corruption group, the 2011 CPI shows that public frustration is well founded.<\/p>\n
Countries like Botswana, Cape Verde, Mauritius, Seychelles, Namibia, Rwanda, and South Africa were all ahead of Ghana \u2013 making the country placed 8th on the African continent<\/p>\n
New Zealand, Denmark and Finland top the global list, while North Korea and Somalia are at the bottom.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year we have seen corruption on protestors\u2019 banners be they rich or poor. Whether in a Europe hit by debt crisis or an Arab world starting a new political era, leaders must heed the demands for better government,\u201d said Huguette Labelle, Chair of Transparency International.<\/p>\n
The report said \u201cPublic-sector governance that puts the interests of its citizens first is a responsibility that is not restricted to any border. Governments must act accordingly. For their part, citizens need to continue demanding better performance from their leaders. If we work together, the situation shown by this year\u2019s Corruption Perceptions Index can improve. These are our countries and our future.\u201d<\/p>\n
