A study of 46 professional planners across Ghana, found that 60% of those interviewed are unaware of the prescribed codes of ethics. Respondents identified prevalent forms of professional misconduct including bribery, corruption, and unfair dealing among others. Factors contributing to this misconduct are political interference, weak enforcement of ethics codes, poor working conditions, and low incomes. The participants of the study also identifi…
