ethical public sector employees from a list of 26 different professions in 2017, according to a public opinion survey conducted by the Agency Against Corruption (AAC).
The telephone survey, which was conducted in June 2017 and published this March, had a random sample of 1,106 people who rated public employees on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being most corrupt and 10 most upright.
After the results were collated, public hospital staff received an average score of 6.55, followed by civil servants with 6.17, supervisory staff at 6, fire prevention inspection staff 5.94, police 5.84 and military service personnel 5.83.
According to the AAC, the ranking for the police rose two spots from its October 2016 position of seventh, which could be attributed to efforts by police departments to rebrand and connect with the public through social media. [FULL STORY]
