The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) wants government services to move online more quickly. This is a key step to help stop people from asking for bribes.
Omar Seidu, Deputy Government Statistician, stated that clearer information about official fees is also needed. This will help citizens know what they should pay.
The GSS believes these changes will make it harder for corrupt practices to occur. They plan to continue monitoring how often bribes are demanded.
Public education on the dangers and illegality of bribery is also important, according to the GSS. They want citizens to understand their rights and report wrongdoing.
These calls come as the GSS observes an increase in bribery demands. They see digitalisation and transparency as powerful tools against this problem.
The GSS will keep gathering data on bribery. This information will help guide future efforts to improve public service integrity.
