Purpose

The purpose of this research is to examine and analyse public corruption by comparing citizens’ assessment of the perceived performance of the anti-corruption agency of Mauritius (ICAC), in terms of its prosecutorial efficacy, and comparing such perception with the reality reflected by court judgments.

Design/Methodology/Approach

A survey was carried out using a structured questionnaire, to gauge public opinion on the perceived effectiveness of the ICAC in fighting public corruption. Specific results were then cross-validated against an analysis of court judgments.

Findings

The survey findings reveal that citizens have a negative opinion on ICAC’s effectiveness and this perception is justified and validated by a content analysis exercise, to confirm poor prosecutorial performance.

Originality/Value

The study seeks to sensitise decision-makers on the need to instil public trust by clarifying specific provisions of the anticorruption legislation and adopting a proactive approach by setting up an integrity system within public organisations to address public corruption.
