The Jubilee House on Friday, 12 December 2025, hosted the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) for a presentation of the Governance Series Wave 2 survey, which focused on bribery, corruption, and public sector accountability.
Professor Francis Dodoo, Presidential Adviser for the National Anti-Corruption Programme, welcomed attendees, emphasizing the importance of intersectoral collaboration in tackling corruption and highlighting the session as a demonstration of the government’s commitment to advancing national interests.
The session, chaired by Deputy Chief of Staff (Administration), Hon. Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, formed part of activities marking African Statistics Day and brought together senior officials from the Presidency, accountability institutions, civil society organizations, and representatives from key state agencies committed to promoting transparency and evidence-based governance.
In her keynote address, Hon. Bampoe Addo highlighted government initiatives under President John Dramani Mahama, including the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) platform, enhanced enforcement of Auditor-General reports, strengthened Public Accounts Committee actions, and the rollout of the 2025 Code of Conduct for Government Officials.
She also noted that the Governance Advisory Council Bill, approved by Cabinet in May 2025, has been submitted to Parliament to further strengthen integrity and good governance. Additionally, she pointed to ongoing consultations for the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP II), with the final draft set for validation by December 2025.
Hon. Bampoe Addo stressed that, while the public demands faster and more deterrent actions, ongoing reforms are restoring confidence in Ghana’s governance and anti-corruption framework. She praised the GSS for producing a rigorous second wave of the National Anti-Corruption Survey, emphasizing that the data provides a mirror of citizens’ lived realities and a crucial tool for shaping policy interventions.
Government Statistician Dr. Alhassan Iddrissu and the GSS team presented evidence on citizen experiences, corruption hotspots, and notable differences between Wave 1 and Wave 2 findings. They reported a decline in corruption across some sectors, signaling reductions in bribery and increased responsiveness among public institutions.
The programme concluded with discussions on practical reforms, emphasizing stronger inter-agency collaboration, improved reporting systems, and a renewed commitment to evidence-based governance.
The Presidency reaffirmed its commitment to leveraging data-driven insights to strengthen accountability, promising to translate the Governance Series Wave 2 findings into actionable reforms that enhance transparency, protect public resources, restore public trust, and advance sustainable national development.
