Ghana’s Progress Will Begin When The Police Stop Taking Bribes – Hopeson Adorye
Hopeson Adorye, a well-known Ghanaian politician and former government official, has boldly asserted that Ghana’s developmental setbacks are closely tied to entrenched corruption within the nation’s police force.
In a widely discussed radio interview over the weekend, prominent politician Hopeson Adorye made a bold claim: “Ghana’s development will start the day the police stop accepting bribes.” Though blunt, his remark has reignited national conversation around corruption and the need for institutional accountability.
Adorye emphasized that the Ghana Police Service holds a central role in maintaining discipline and enforcing the law. However, he argued that widespread bribery and extortion—particularly by officers on the roads—have significantly eroded public trust and fostered a culture of impunity.

Known for his candid views, Adorye asserted that true development can only occur in a country where institutions are functional, respected, and free from corruption. He stressed that the police, as the frontline of law enforcement and often the first point of contact between citizens and the state, must uphold the highest standards of integrity.
His comments come at a time when public trust in the Ghana Police Service is waning, following a series of high-profile reports and citizen complaints alleging misconduct, bribery, and abuse of power.
