Even so, there is a widespread – and growing – belief that inequities exist in how laws are applied, with unfair advantage given to officialsand the wealthy. Six rounds of surveys were completed between 1999 and 2015, and Round 7 surveys are being conducted in 2016/2018. The Afrobarometer team in Ghana, led by the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), interviewed 2,400 adult Ghanaians between September 9 and 25, 2017. A sample of this size yields results with a margin of error of +/-2% at a 95% confidence level.
