Decolonization in Africa

Question 4 • Online World History B

Why did corruption increase when opposition political parties were banned in Ghana?

Answer
A
Nkrumah’s government held too much power, and officials could do whatever they wanted.
B
Opposition parties operated secretly and illegally, and they tried to undermine the government.
C
Citizens revolted against Nkrumah’s rule, and crime became common among workers.
D
Opposition parties ran on anti-corruption platforms, but they won no support from the public.

Explanation

Banning opposition parties weakened checks on Nkrumah’s government. With little political oversight or accountability, officials had more opportunity to misuse their power, so corruption increased. Choice A best describes this concentration of power; the other choices do not explain how banning opposition parties enabled corruption.
