ICAC household opinion survey to commence from October
2011-9-30
The ICAC will conduct a household opinion survey in the next two months to gauge the views of the public on the corruption situation as well as their opinion on the work of the anti-corruption agency.
The survey, to run between October 3 and November 27, will interview a total of 1,500 respondents aged between 15 and 64 selected through random sampling. They will receive a notification letter issued by the ICAC.
The ICAC has engaged independent pollsters to conduct the opinion survey on an annual basis. Since last year, the survey was carried out through household face-to-face interviews to enable more in-depth understanding of views of the public.
This year’s survey will be conducted by a research company selected through open tendering. Interviewers will visit the selected households between 10 am and 10 pm during the survey period. All interviewers will bear an authorisation letter issued by the ICAC and a staff identity card issued by the research company. Each interview will take about 20 minutes.
“The survey results will help us better understand the public’s perception and their needs, serving as useful reference for the ICAC in formulating its future strategies. We hope the selected households will support this exercise,” said an ICAC spokesman.
The spokesman stressed that all personal information provided by the respondents will be kept strictly confidential and used solely for statistical analysis. All the completed questionnaires will be destroyed upon completion of data analysis.
More information about the survey is available on the ICAC’s website ( http://www.icac.org.hk ). For enquiries, the public may call the ICAC at 9521 1657 between 10 am and 10 pm from Monday to Sunday.
