Between 2009 and 2011, 14 people were also arrested for attempting to bribe judges.This year’s campaign was taken to villages, the lowest governance level, where the public were sensitised how to partner with the judiciary in the fight against the vice. "We want the public to know that we are ready to work with them to end corruption.
