This is a study of the roots of corruption in Ghana through a historical analysis of its trajectory. It is argued that the emergence of the Ghanaian nation-state was driven by a logic to build a network of exclusive institutions to facilitate the plunder of the nation for private gain, because the country s dominant elites were (and are still) weak economically and politically. They do not have the capacity to create strong (inclusive) institutions for effective and ethical governance. The process of building exclusive institutions intensified with independence and accentuated the scramble for private wealth. By 1992 the dominant elites had developed a kleptocratic culture, and become corrupt elites. Also, the Parliament of Ghana, which the Constitution established to ensure good governance, was transformed into an exclusive institution to give legal legitimacy to corrupt practices. KWAME AKON NIINISIN, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, University of Ghana; holds a BA (Combined Honours) degree in Political Science and History from the University of Ghana (1969), and PhD (Political Science) from Boston University (1977). Prof. Ninsin was Head/Chair, Department of Political Science, University of Ghana, (for 3 terms from the 1980s to 1995). He was a visiting scholar at several universities in the US and UK, and has authored several works on Ghanaian and African politics. He served as a member of Ghana s Consultative Assembly (1991-1992). He received several academic awards including Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship for Reflections on Development (1987), Fulbright-
Hays Scholar (197176) for the PhD in the USA; and the honour of the Kwame Akon Ninsin Library, Department of Political Science, Legon. 9789988281434
