The government, therefore, has to seriously and effectively fight corruption to curb its malignant effects on governance and development, the Institute of Fiscal Services (IFS) has said.
IFS explained that corruption has long wreaked havoc on the country's development.
It is pervasive and deep-rooted.
For instance, according to a corruption survey commissioned by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, it found that in 2021, 17.4 million individual bribes, totaling an amount of GH₵5 billion, were paid to Ghanaian public officials.
