The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has expressed disappointment in Ghana\u2019s stagnated position on the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), highlighting the country\u2019s lack of progress in the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n
Ghana attained a score of 43 out of a possible 100, securing the 70th position out of 180 countries and territories in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2023, released by Transparency International (TI) on Tuesday, January 30, 2024.<\/p>\n
This marks the fourth consecutive year of stagnation in Ghana\u2019s anti-corruption efforts, according to the CPI. Four out of six Sub-Saharan African countries that maintained a stagnant score for four or more consecutive years experienced a subsequent decline in their CPI score the following year, representing a concerning trend.<\/p>\n
In response to the CPI findings, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng expressed his disappointment, stating, \u201cWe are standing at a single spot spinning around slowly on one foot in a circle, much like a gyroscope, the conversation is becoming sterile.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fight against corruption is proving to be an unruly bride indeed\u2026we are not recording much success and progress is hampered, and we are unable to move the needle appreciably to improve our scorecard.\u201d<\/p>\n
He highlighted the awareness of the solution to address corruption but emphasized a lack of commitment to implementing effective measures.<\/p>\n
Agyebeng lamented, \u201cWe certainly know the cure to the malaise but we are unwilling to take the medication fully, it is as if we don\u2019t want to actually cure it though we reckon it is slowly killing us. it is as if we do not know what we want.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare called on civil society organizations (CSOs) to trust anti-graft bodies. She urged CSOs to refrain from harbouring suspicions once anti-graft bodies have exonerated individuals under investigation for alleged misconduct.<\/p>\n
Osei-Opare made these remarks during a roundtable discussion on the Corruption Perception Index 2023, where Ghana scored 43 out of a clean score of 100.<\/p>\n
The discussion aimed to address the challenges and perceptions surrounding corruption in the country.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
