ICAC to commence annual household survey next week to gauge public views on graft-fighting work

The following press release is issued on behalf of the Independent Commission Against Corruption:

The ICAC will kick start a new round of annual opinion survey next Monday (March 16) to gauge public attitudes towards a probity society and their understanding about corruption.

"It is important for the ICAC to suitably adjust its work strategy to align with social development. The survey enables the Commission to keep a close tab on public expectations and understanding of anti-corruption work, so as to devise appropriate anti-corruption policies, maximise the impact of our anti-corruption efforts, enhance our effectiveness and better meet the needs of the society. Members of the public participating in the survey are encouraged to actively share their views," said an ICAC spokesman.

Commencing on March 16 till May, the survey will be conducted independently by a professional research agency appointed by the ICAC. Around 1 500 Hong Kong residents, aged between 15 and 74, will be selected for interviews through random sampling.

Selected households will receive notification letters issued by the ICAC. During the survey period, uniformed interviewers bearing authorisation letters issued by the ICAC and staff identity cards of the research agency will visit the households between 10am and 9.45pm. Each face-to-face interview will last for 10 to 15 minutes. Selected households are also welcome to schedule the interviews with the research agency or the ICAC.

All personal information and opinions collected from the survey will be compiled in aggregate and will not be disclosed to any other government departments or organisations. Completed questionnaires will be destroyed after completion of the survey.

Details of the survey are available on the ICAC corporate website (www.icac.org.hk). For enquiries, members of the public may call the ICAC survey enquiry hotline at 2826 3267 between 10am and 10pm during the survey period.
