Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has highlighted Ghana’s growing leadership in the global fight against corruption at the United Nations’ largest anti-corruption summit, the 11th Conference of States Parties (CoSP) to the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), held in Doha.
Addressing delegates, the Speaker underscored Ghana’s firm commitment to transparency and accountability, anchored in strong political leadership, preventive reforms, asset recovery, and resilient institutions. He urged deeper international cooperation to strengthen the global anti-corruption architecture.
A major milestone of the summit was Ghana’s role in securing the first-ever UNCAC resolution on transparency in political party financing and election campaigns. Working in partnership with Norway, Albania, and Mongolia, Ghana led negotiations that affirmed citizens’ right to know who funds politics.
The conference, themed “Shaping Tomorrow’s Integrity”, concluded with the adoption of the Doha Declaration 2025, which reinforces global resolve to advance transparency, accountability, and integrity in democratic governance worldwide.
