Abstract

Governance revolves around sourcing for materials and services for the accomplishment of public policy. Accordingly, proper management of the procurement process could enhance efficient delivery of services and prevent corruption to a large extent. This study builds a logical framework depicting the interrelationships between the key institutional frameworks for preventing corruption and contextual factors that influence the effectiveness of these frameworks as important tools for prevention of corruption in Ghana. The review focuses on assessing the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures instituted by the state in the fight against corruption, examining the challenges in the implementation and enforcement of anti-corruption laws. The study maintains that actual implementation of the procurement law, coupled with competent judicial system, the political will to successfully prosecute those found culpable, free and politically neutral media as well as professionalism on the part of law enforcement institutions are important ingredents in the fight against corruption in Ghana.
