Comparison between Prosecution,
Conviction and Acquittals in PCCB
Corruption Cases 2005-2014
The PCCB data indicates the
Case management
summary number of cases filed in court
since the new Act (PCCA, 2007)
came into force has increased to
1,900 from a mere 147 cases
handled under the old PCA Act by
end of 2008. Despite the increase
in the volume of money
recovered and the number of
cases filed in courts, the PCCB
still faces a daunting challenge of
low conviction rates. According to
the data out of 5,450 cases
prosecuted only 473 convictions
had been secured by end of June
2014 representing a mere 8.6%
of all the total prosecutions
completed. A total of 574 cases
were acquitted representing
10.5% of the total prosecutions
in the period.
