Cases reported through the National Anti-Corruption Hotline (NACH) are referred to departments, public agencies and other public bodies for investigation in accordance with the agreed protocols. These departments, public agencies and other public bodies are required to investigate the referrals in terms of their particular mandates on investigations. Problems experienced by departments in the handling of NACH cases appear to be linked to the lack of investigative capacity, financial constraints and the fact that some departments do not have appropriate structures or specialized units to deal with the cases as required by the Minimum Anti-Corruption Capabilities set by Cabinet.
