Just 1.5 out of every 100 reported cases of corruption ended up being prosecuted in court, according to recent data released by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) of Sierra Leone. The ACC received a total of 775 reports of alleged acts of corruption in 2020, representing an increase of 22% over 2019.
But just 12 of the 775 cases were prosecuted in court, and another 12 cases were settled out of court. This means that the majority of those reported for alleged acts of corruption were either cleared of charges, not investigated, or were maliciously reported and, as such, their cases were dropped.
