The Anti-Corruption Office has completed the 32 initial investigations outstanding at the end of 1972 and continued the 18 further investigations begun in that year. At the beginning of this year 238 long term investigations begun in earlier years were still continuing and 7 new investigations of this type have been commenced.
73. I give below statistics showing the number of corruption charges and the number of persons brought before the courts during each of the years 1968-73. As Cap. 201 came into force on 14th May 1971, there are 2 sets of figures for 1971, one showing charges under the former Cap. 215 and the other showing charges brought under the present Cap. 201. The figures for 1973 include 3 persons whose cases are pending before the courts and 2 other cases where the Attorney General has consented to the institution of prosecutions but, at the time of writing, the persons have not been charged. The figures show 3 categories of defendant namely police, other Government departments, and members of the public. The police are treated as a separate category because more complaints are received by the A.C. Office against police officers than against officers in other depart- ments. Consequently, more police officers are brought before the courts. The figures also show the number of persons charged with other criminal offences, evidence of which has been discovered by the A.C. Office in the course of an investigation into alleged corrupt activity. The figures also show the number of officers in- volved in cases where there was no, or insufficient, evidence to warrant criminal proceedings but whose cases were referred by the Anti-Corruption Office to the Establishment Secretary or to the appropriate departmental authorities for consideration for possible disciplinary action against the officers concerned. Persons charged with both corruption and other criminal offences are listed only under corruption statistics.
