ICAC to conduct annual household survey to gauge public views on anti-graft work
2016-5-24
The ICAC will conduct an annual household opinion survey in the next three months to gauge the views of the public on Hong Kong’s corruption situation and work of the anti-graft agency.
The face-to-face household survey will commence from Thursday (May 26) to August this year. The survey is targeted to cover persons aged between 15 and 64 living in Hong Kong. A total of about 1,500 respondents will be selected through random sampling.
“Over the years, the ICAC regularly engaged independent pollsters to conduct opinion survey to gauge the public’s views and attitude towards corruption as well as their areas of concern in anti-graft work,” said an ICAC spokesman.
The exercise had served as a useful reference for the ICAC in formulating timely and effective work strategies, the spokesman added.
Selected households will receive a notification letter from the ICAC and they are invited to make an appointment with the research agency direct for interviews. Household visits will be conducted between 10 am and 10:30 pm during the survey period.
All interviewers will bear an authorisation letter issued by the ICAC and a staff identity card of the research company for identification purpose.
Members of the public may call the enquiry hotline at 2826 3273 or 2826 3267 between 10 am and 10 pm every day during the survey period. Details of the opinion survey are also available on the ICAC’s website (www.icac.org.hk).
All personal information provided by the respondents will be kept strictly confidential and used solely for the survey. All completed questionnaires will be destroyed immediately after processing.
