Low conviction rate prompts CIAA to appeal at top court in record numbers

Watchdog says it has appealed in 122 cases since the start of the current fiscal year, which is more than double the appeals it filed in the whole of fiscal year 2021-22.

Very low conviction rate in corruption cases particularly as a result of the Special Court scrapping the cases involving sting operations has prompted the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority to file appeals at the Supreme Court in record numbers in less than four months.
