President John Dramani Mahama has announced that Ghana is now ranked the 5th in democracy in Africa at the ongoing anti-corruption summit in London.
President Mahama announced Ghana’s latest ranking as the 5th in Africa in the 2015 prestigious Democracy Index at the sidelines of the summit in the UK.
President Mahama sharing this on his facebook page Friday said: “If you didn’t know already, I am happy to inform you that we are now, officially, the fifth democracy in Africa. In the prestigious Democracy Index 2015, we were ranked 53rd in the world, a leap of no less than 15 places since 2014.”
He continued: “Our democratic success in the last four years is – and will continue to be – doubled by our success in the fight against corruption. This summit offers us the opportunity to find new, innovative solutions, and also to showcase the important steps we have been taking to fight corruption.
“For me, it is of paramount importance that we move forward Ghana’s anti-corruption agenda as contained in the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (2015-2024) and our commitments under the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). Our hard work, our vision and dedication earned us a well-deserved place in the community of nations. Let us all keep moving forward and upwards.”
